Homework Statement
a)Let A be an n*n invertible matrix. Show that the inverse of the transpose of a matrix (A^{T}) is (A⁻¹)^{T}
b)Let A,B, 2A+B be n×n matrices.Show that A⁻¹+2B⁻¹ is also invertible and express (A⁻¹+2B⁻¹)⁻¹ in terms of A, B and (2A+B)⁻¹
Homework Equations
I have done part a. I have been stuck on part b for a while. I have tried everything i can think of.
The Attempt at a Solution
I have tried revamping
(A⁻¹+2B⁻¹)⁻¹(A⁻¹+2B⁻¹)=I
(A⁻¹+2B⁻¹)⁻¹A⁻¹+ (A⁻¹+2B⁻¹)⁻¹2B⁻¹=I
(A⁻¹+2B⁻¹)⁻¹=(I-(A⁻¹+2B⁻¹)⁻¹2B⁻¹)A
Then simplified it, but the result is not in terms of the matrix (2A+B)⁻¹,A and B.
This question really has me stumped.
