MINVERSE(arr)

Description

This function gives the inverse matrix for the given matrix.
We have to find a inverse of a matrix then it should satisfy the following conditions
1.A matrix must be a square matrix.
2.It's determinant not equal to 0.
Let $A<math>bethe2x2matrixwiththeelementsA=|abcd|.*Thentheinverseofmatrix<math>A$ is denoted by $A^{-1}$ .So $A^{-1}={\begin{bmatrix}a&b\\c&d\\\end{bmatrix}}^{-1}={\frac {1}{ad-bc}}*{\begin{bmatrix}d&-b\\-c&a\\\end{bmatrix}}$

Now let A be the matrix is of order nXn.
Then the inverse of A is A^-1= 1/det(A) . adj(A)
Where adj(A) is the adjoint of A.
Adjoint is the matrix formed by taking the transpose of the co-factor matrix of a given original matrix.
Also A.A^-1=A^-1.A=I, where I is the identity matrix.Non-square matrices do not have inverses.
Not all square matrices have inverses.
A square matrix which has an inverse is called invertible or non-singular, and a square matrix without an inverse is called non-invertible or singular.
This function will return the result as error when

1. Any one of the cell is non-numeric or any cell is empty or contain text
2. Suppose number of rows not equal to number of columns

Matrix A A=(4 3

MATRIX A A=(3 4

     6       8)

MINVERSE(C4:D5)=Null, because its det value is 0. MATRIX A A=(2 3
