(optional) parameters; for a complete list, see LinearAlgebra[MatrixInverse]

Description

• 

The MatrixInverse(A) function, where A is a nonsingular square Matrix, returns the Matrix inverse A-1. If A is recognized as a singular Matrix, an error message is returned.

• 

If A is a nonsingular nxn Matrix, the inverse A-1 is computed such that A·A-1=I, where I is the nxn identity Matrix.
