Question
Find the adjoint of the matrix

Solution

Co-factors of the elements of first row of | A | are

i.e. 3 – 0, – (2 + 10), 0 + 6 i.e. 3, – 12, 6 respectively.
Co-factors of the elements of second row of | A | are

Co-factors of the elements of second row of | A | are

i.e. – (– 1 – 0), 1 + 4, – (0 – 2) i.e. 1, 5, 2 respectively.
Cofactors of the elements of third row of | A | are
i.e. – 5 – 6, – (5 – 4), 3 + 2
∴ –11,–1, 5 respectively.
