-	If $A$ is an [[invertible]] $n\times n$ matrix, then the unique $n\times n$ matrix $A'$ with $AA'=I_n=A'A$ is called the inverse of $A$, and this is what we mean whenever we write written as $A^{-1}$.	+	If $A$ is an [[invertible]] $n\times n$ matrix, then the unique $n\times n$ matrix $C$ with $AC=I_n=CA$ is called the inverse of $A$. If $A$ is invertible, then we write $A^{-1}$ to mean the (unique) inverse of $A$.
