Find the inverse of the matrix
straight A space equals space open square brackets table row cell negative 1 end cell cell space space 1 end cell cell space space 2 end cell row cell space space space 3 end cell cell negative 1 end cell cell space space 1 space end cell row cell space minus 1 end cell cell space space 3 end cell cell space 4 end cell end table close square brackets.

Solution
straight A space equals space open square brackets table row cell negative 1 end cell cell space space 1 end cell cell space space space space 2 end cell row cell space space 3 end cell cell negative 1 end cell cell space space space 1 end cell row cell negative 1 end cell cell space space 3 end cell cell space space 4 end cell end table close square brackets
therefore space space open vertical bar straight A close vertical bar space equals space open vertical bar table row cell negative 1 end cell cell space space 1 end cell cell space space 2 end cell row 3 cell space minus 1 end cell cell space space 1 end cell row cell negative 1 end cell 3 cell space space 4 end cell end table close vertical bar space equals space left parenthesis negative 1 right parenthesis space open vertical bar table row cell negative 1 end cell cell space space 1 end cell row cell space 3 end cell cell space space 4 end cell end table close vertical bar minus 1 space open vertical bar table row 3 cell space space 1 end cell row cell negative 1 end cell cell space space 4 end cell end table close vertical bar space plus space 2 space open vertical bar table row 3 cell space minus 1 end cell row cell negative 1 end cell cell space space space space 3 end cell end table close vertical bar
space space space space space space space space space space space equals space minus left parenthesis 4 minus 3 right parenthesis space minus space left parenthesis 12 plus 1 right parenthesis space plus space 2 thin space left parenthesis 9 minus 1 right parenthesis space equals space 7 minus 13 plus 16 space equals space 10 space not equal to space 0
therefore space space space space straight A to the power of negative 1 end exponent space exists.
space space space space space space space space space space space straight A subscript 11 space equals space open vertical bar table row cell negative 1 end cell cell space space 1 end cell row cell space space 3 end cell cell space space 4 end cell end table close vertical bar space equals space minus 4 minus 3 space equals space minus 7
space space space space space space space space space space space straight A subscript 12 space equals space minus open vertical bar table row 3 cell space space 1 end cell row cell negative 1 end cell cell space space 4 end cell end table close vertical bar space equals negative left parenthesis 12 plus 1 right parenthesis space equals space minus 13
space space space space space space space space space space space straight A subscript 13 space equals space open vertical bar table row 3 cell space space minus 1 end cell row 1 cell space space space space 3 end cell end table close vertical bar space equals space 9 minus 1 space equals space 8
space space space space space space space space space space straight A subscript 21 space equals space minus open vertical bar table row 1 cell space space 2 end cell row 3 cell space space 4 end cell end table close vertical bar space equals space minus left parenthesis 4 minus 6 right parenthesis space equals space 2
space space space space space space space space space space straight A subscript 22 space equals space open vertical bar table row cell negative 1 end cell cell space space 2 end cell row cell negative 1 end cell cell space 4 end cell end table close vertical bar space equals space minus 4 plus 2 space equals space minus 2
space space space space space space space space space space straight A subscript 23 space equals space minus open vertical bar table row cell negative 1 end cell cell space 1 space space end cell row cell negative 1 end cell 3 end table close vertical bar space equals space minus left parenthesis negative 3 plus 1 right parenthesis space equals space 2
space space space space space space space space space space space straight A subscript 31 space equals space open vertical bar table row 1 cell space space 2 end cell row cell negative 1 end cell cell space space 1 end cell end table close vertical bar space equals space 1 plus 2 space equals space 3
space space space space space space space space space space space straight A subscript 32 space equals space minus open vertical bar table row cell negative 1 end cell cell space 2 end cell row 3 1 end table close vertical bar space equals space minus left parenthesis negative 1 minus 6 right parenthesis space equals space 7
space space space space space space space space space space space space straight A subscript 33 space equals space open vertical bar table row cell negative 1 end cell cell space space 1 end cell row 3 cell space space minus end cell end table close vertical bar space equals space 1 minus 3 space equals space minus 2
therefore space space adj. space straight A space equals space open square brackets table row cell negative 7 end cell cell negative 13 end cell cell space space 8 end cell row 2 cell negative 2 end cell cell space space 2 end cell row 3 cell space 7 end cell cell negative 2 end cell end table close square brackets to the power of apostrophe space equals space open square brackets table row cell negative 7 end cell cell space space 2 end cell cell space space 3 end cell row cell negative 13 end cell cell space space minus 2 end cell cell space space 7 end cell row 8 2 cell negative 2 end cell end table close square brackets
space space space space space straight A to the power of negative 1 end exponent space equals space fraction numerator adj. space straight A over denominator open vertical bar straight A close vertical bar end fraction space equals space 1 over 10 open square brackets table row cell negative 7 end cell cell space space space 2 end cell cell space space space 3 end cell row cell negative 13 end cell cell space minus 2 end cell cell space space 7 end cell row 8 2 cell space minus 2 end cell end table close square brackets
