Find the inverse of the following matrices by using elementary row transformations:

Solution:

For elementary row operation we have,
\begin{array}{l} A=I A \\ \Rightarrow\left[\begin{array}{ccc} 2 & 0 & -1 \\ 5 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 3 \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{lll} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{array}\right] \mathrm{A} \end{array}
