To find the inverse of the matrix \( A = \begin{pmatrix} x & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & y & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & z \end{pmatrix} \), we can use the property of diagonal matrices. The inverse of a diagonal matrix is simply the diagonal matrix formed by taking the reciprocal of each of the diagonal elements. ### Step 1: Write down the matrix A We have: \[ A = \begin{pmatrix} x & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & y & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & z \end{pmatrix} \] ...
