Why Isn't the Inverse of My Fundamental Matrix Correct?

[Diferencialdex]

Hello, I have a little problem. I´ve calculated the fundamental matrix of a EDO system, such that:

M(t) = P * exp( J*t)

where J is a diagonal matrix:

J = [-3 , 0 ; 0 , 1] and P = [1 , 1 ; 3 , -3]

The problem arise when I try to find the inverse matrix of M. What I do is this

As we know the inverse of a product is the product of the inverse, so firstly I find P$$^{-1}$$. Then I look for the inverse of exp(J*t), that in this case is exp( -J*t). That´s all. Now, when I do the product of the two inverse matrix, the result is not the resul of the inverse of M. Can anyone tell me where ir my mistake?

Thank you!

The right formula is

$$M=A\cdot B\Rightarrow M^{-1}=B^{-1}\cdot A^{-1}$$

Did you reverse the order of A, B?

That was the problem . What a stupid mistake!

Thank you very much!
