Work Step by Step

Given: $A=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -i \\ -1+i & 2 \end{bmatrix}$ Using the Gauss-Jordan method we get: $\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -i | 1 & 0\\ -1+i & 2|0 &1 \end{bmatrix} \approx^1\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -i | 1 & 0\\ 0 & 1-i | 1-i & 1 \end{bmatrix} \approx^2 \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -i | 1 & 0\\ 0 & 1 | 1 & \frac{1}{1-i} \end{bmatrix} \approx^3 \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -i | 1 & 0\\ 0 & 1 | 1 & \frac{1}{1-i} \end{bmatrix}$ $1A_{12}(i-1)$ $2.M_2(-1)$ $3.A_{21}(-1-i)$ $\rightarrow A^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix} 1+i& \frac{i}{1-i} \\ 1 & \frac{1}{1-i} \end{bmatrix}$ Hence $A^{-1}$ exists. Check the answer by verifying that $AA^{-1} = I_n$ $AA^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -i \\ -1+i & 2 \end{bmatrix}.\begin{bmatrix} 1+i& \frac{i}{1-i} \\ 1 & \frac{1}{1-i} \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}=I_2$
