Matrix Inverses and Operations

The video tutorial explains how to find the inverse of a 2x2 matrix using a formula involving the determinant and matrix manipulation. It then covers the process of finding the inverse of a 3x3 matrix using an augmented matrix and row operations to transform it into the identity matrix. The tutorial provides step-by-step instructions and examples for both types of matrices.
