Building a permutation matrix from the identity
State that performing the wanted row swap on the identity produces , and write the matrix with ones off the diagonal that exchanges rows one and two.
The inverse with
Give the definition of the inverse as the matrix that undoes , and write for the step subtracting times row one from row two, with in place of .
