 is known as the ‘identity matrix’.

Multiplying by it has no effect, i.e. for any matrix .

It may seem pointless to have such a matrix, but it’ll have more
importance when we consider matrices as ‘transformations’ later.
Although admittedly you won’t quite fully appreciate why we have it
unless you do Further Maths A Level…
Harder Multiplication Questions
Matrix multiplications may give us simultaneous equations, which we solve in
the usual way.
