Find the inverse of each of the following matrices.

|A| =


= 1(1 + 3) – 2( – 1 + 2) + 5(3 + 2)


= 4 – 2 + 25


= 27


Hence, A – 1 exists


Cofactors of A are:


C11 = 4 C21 = 17 C31 = 3


C12 = – 1 C22 = – 11 C32 = 6


C13 = 5 C23 = 1 C33 = – 3


adj A =


=


So, adj A =


Now, A – 1 = .adj A


So, A – 1 = .


Hence, A – 1 =
