# What is the symbol for Matrix inverse operator? [closed]

I tried to take inverse of a matrix A using Inverse[A] and it gave me the right result. But when I tried using notation form A-1 by using typesetting superscript, it gives me wrong result (element wise inverse of matrix, see figure below). Is it possible to get inverse of a matrix using symbolic form? if so, how to get inverse of a matrix using symbolic input form? (Since AT symbol works for Transpose of a matrix). Thank you in advance

• If there were any, then the doc page would mention it. So I guess, there is no way to input the inverse symbolically. – Henrik Schumacher Mar 23 '20 at 20:51
• Apparently, exponentiation of a matrix just distributes over the elements. I haven't encountered that elsewhere. – David Keith Mar 23 '20 at 21:01
• You can select Inverse[A] and Cell->Convert To->TraditionalForm it, where it does look like $A^{-1}$. – swish Mar 23 '20 at 21:03
• @DavidKeith that's standard for numerical programs, e.g. numpy. If you want a power you use MatrixPower. – b3m2a1 Mar 23 '20 at 21:06
• @swish Thank you for the tip. – vdm1990 Mar 23 '20 at 21:11
