Is it possible to compute matrix (A/B) without first finding the inverse of matrix B but ending with EITHER { A * (Inverse of B) } OR { (Inverse of B * A }...i think i discovered the trick
Matrix division is a mathematical operation used to divide one matrix by another. It is similar to regular division, but instead of dividing numbers, we divide matrices.
Matrix division is different from regular division because it involves dividing two matrices together, while regular division involves dividing two numbers. In matrix division, the size and shape of the matrices must also match in order for the division to be possible.
The two matrices being divided must have the same number of columns and rows in order for the division to be possible. Additionally, the divisor matrix cannot have any zero values in order to avoid undefined results.
The result of matrix division is a new matrix that is the product of the dividend and the inverse of the divisor. This new matrix will have the same number of rows as the dividend and the same number of columns as the divisor.
Yes, there are two special cases in matrix division. The first is when the divisor matrix is a scalar, meaning it is a single value and not a matrix. In this case, the scalar value is divided into each element of the dividend matrix. The second special case is when the divisor matrix is a square matrix and the dividend matrix is the identity matrix, resulting in the inverse of the divisor matrix.
