we should know 2 facts before proving it:
1. Inverse is applicable only for square matrices.
2.Let X be any n*n square matrix, then a matrix Y if it exists such that XY=YX=In-------((Identity matrix of size n*n)
If this condition is true then we can say Both X and Y are inverses of each other.
X-1 =Y or Y-1 = X
To prove : (ba)-1 = a-1b-1
Assume X =(ba)-1
Y=a-1b-1
My aim will be XY=YX=In
XY= (ba)(a-1 b-1 )
=baa-1b-1
=In
YX= (a-1 b-1 )(ba)
=a-1b-1 ba
=In
