Find the inverse of the matrix open square brackets table row 1 cell space space space space 0 end cell cell space space space space 0 end cell row 3 cell space space space 3 end cell cell space space space space space 0 end cell row 5 cell space space space space 2 end cell cell space space minus 1 end cell end table close square brackets

Solution
straight A space equals space open square brackets table row 1 cell space space space space 0 end cell cell space space space space 0 end cell row 3 cell space space space 3 end cell cell space space space space space 0 end cell row 5 cell space space space 2 end cell cell space space minus 1 end cell end table close square brackets
therefore space space space space open vertical bar straight A close vertical bar space equals space open vertical bar table row 1 cell space space space space space 0 end cell cell space space space 0 end cell row 3 cell space space space space 3 end cell cell space space space space 0 end cell row 5 cell space space space space 2 end cell cell space minus 1 end cell end table close vertical bar space equals space left parenthesis 1 right parenthesis thin space left parenthesis 3 right parenthesis thin space left parenthesis negative 1 right parenthesis space equals space minus 3 space not equal to space 0
rightwards double arrow space 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 space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space left square bracket Product space of space diagonal space elements right square bracket
Co-factors of the elements of the first row of | A | are
open vertical bar table row 3 cell space space space 0 end cell row 2 cell space space minus 1 end cell end table close vertical bar comma space space space minus open vertical bar table row 3 cell space space space space space space 0 end cell row 5 cell space space minus 1 end cell end table close vertical bar comma space space space open vertical bar table row 3 cell space space space space space 3 end cell row 5 cell space space space 2 end cell end table close vertical bar
i.e.   – 3,  3, – 9 respectively
Co-factors of the elements of the second row of | A | are
negative open vertical bar table row 0 cell space space space 0 end cell row 2 cell space space space 1 end cell end table close vertical bar comma space space open vertical bar table row 1 cell space space space space space space 0 end cell row 5 cell space space minus 1 end cell end table close vertical bar comma space space minus open vertical bar table row 1 cell space space 0 end cell row 5 cell space space 2 end cell end table close vertical bar
i.e. 0, – 1, – 2 respectively
Co-factors of the elements of the third row of | A | are
open vertical bar table row 0 cell space space space 0 end cell row 3 cell space space space 0 end cell end table close vertical bar comma space space space minus open vertical bar table row 1 cell space space 0 end cell row 3 cell space space 0 end cell end table close vertical bar comma space space open vertical bar table row 1 cell space space space 0 end cell row 3 cell space space 3 end cell end table close vertical bar
i.e. 0, 0, 3 respectively
therefore space space space space adj space straight A space equals space open square brackets table row cell negative 3 end cell cell space space 3 end cell cell space space space minus 9 end cell row cell space 0 end cell cell space minus 1 end cell cell space space minus 2 end cell row cell space 0 end cell cell space 0 end cell cell space space space space 3 space end cell end table close square brackets to the power of apostrophe space equals space open square brackets table row cell negative 3 end cell cell space space space 0 end cell cell space space space 0 end cell row cell space space space 3 end cell cell space minus 1 end cell cell space space space 0 end cell row cell negative 9 end cell cell space minus 2 end cell cell space space space 3 end cell end table close square brackets
Now 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 negative 1 third open square brackets table row cell negative 3 end cell cell space space 0 end cell cell space space space 0 end cell row 3 cell negative 1 end cell cell space space 0 end cell row cell negative 9 end cell cell negative 2 end cell cell space space 3 end cell end table close square brackets.
