Invertible matrices

A matrix for which matrix inversion operation exists, given that it satisfies the requisite conditions is known as an invertible matrix. Any given square matrix A of order n × n is called invertible if and only if there exists, another n × n square matrix B such that, AB = BA = In, where In  is an identity matrix of order n × n.

For example,

It can be observed that the determinant of the following matrices is non-zero.
