Let $Ax=0$, then $0=(A^2+A+I_n)x=I_nx=x$, hence $ker(A)=0$.

$I_n=-A(A+I_n)$, hence $1= det(I_n)= det(-A)det(A+I_n)=(-1)^n det(A) det(A+I_n).$



This gives $ det(A) ne 0$.

The inverse is $-(A+I)$, since by direct calculation



$$-(A+I)A=-A^2-A=I.$$

$begingroup$

To show that any square matrix A is invertible, you need to show that there exists a square matrix $A^-1$ (called the inverse of A) such that $AA^-1 = A^-1A = I_n $. That's the definition of a matrix being invertible.



Now, we can use the equation $A^2 + A + I_n = O_n$ to find a potential candidate for the inverse $A^-1$ such that the equation $AA^-1 = A^-1A = I_n $ holds. Let us solve for $I_n$:



$A^2 + A + I_n = O_n$$I_n = -A^2 - A$$I_n = A(-A - I_n)$



Here, we have our candidate inverse matrix, which is just $A^-1 = (-A - I_n)$. Now, you must show that it satisfies the equation $AA^-1 = A^-1A = I_n$.



Let $A^-1 = -A - I_n$. Then $AA^-1 = A(-A - I_n) = -A^2 - AI_n = -A^2 - A = -(A^2 + A) = I_n$



Similarly, $A^-1A = (-A - I_n)A = -A^2 - I_nA = -A^2 - A = I_n$.



By the definition, A is invertible.

    This solution is definitely also worth of upvoting. Even more simple shows that $A$ has the inverse $ I=A(-A-I)$

    The inverse is $-(A+I)$, since by direct calculation



    $$-(A+I)A=-A^2-A=I.$$

    To show that any square matrix A is invertible, you need to show that there exists a square matrix $A^-1$ (called the inverse of A) such that $AA^-1 = A^-1A = I_n $. That's the definition of a matrix being invertible.



    Now, we can use the equation $A^2 + A + I_n = O_n$ to find a potential candidate for the inverse $A^-1$ such that the equation $AA^-1 = A^-1A = I_n $ holds. Let us solve for $I_n$:



    $A^2 + A + I_n = O_n$$I_n = -A^2 - A$$I_n = A(-A - I_n)$



    Here, we have our candidate inverse matrix, which is just $A^-1 = (-A - I_n)$. Now, you must show that it satisfies the equation $AA^-1 = A^-1A = I_n$.



    Let $A^-1 = -A - I_n$. Then $AA^-1 = A(-A - I_n) = -A^2 - AI_n = -A^2 - A = -(A^2 + A) = I_n$



    Similarly, $A^-1A = (-A - I_n)A = -A^2 - I_nA = -A^2 - A = I_n$.



    By the definition, A is invertible.
