Suppose you're given a black box $A$, and you're told $A$ can invert a matrix (assuming the matrix is invertible) $M$ in $O(T_A)$. You're also given a black box $B$, and you're told $B$ can multiply two matrices $X$ and $Y$ in $O(T_B)$.
There are two problems as follow:
- How is it possible to compute $X \times Y$ by just using $A$ in $O(T_A)$?
- How is it possible to compute $X^{-1}$ by just using $B$ in $O(T_B)$?
Some ideas that come to mind:
We already know that if $X$ is invertible, then:
$$X\times X^{-1}=I$$
where $I$ is an identity matrix. But how can I compute $X^{-1}$? Any hint will be constructive.
