(2) Let be a square matrix such that , then is the identity.
(3) If and are non-singular matrices such that and , then 
(4) If and are non-singular matrices, is also non-singular.
(5) If and are symmetric, then .
(6) If and are symmetric of the same size, then is also symmetric.
(7) If is invertible and symmetric, then is also symmetric.
(8) Let . Then is invertible if and only if is invertible.
(9) If a square matrix is not invertible, then neither is any for .
(10) If and are elementary matrices, then .
(11) The inverse of an invertible upper triangular matrix is upper triangular.
(12) Any invertible martrix can be written as , where is lower triangular and is upper triangular.
