Find the inverse of each of the following matrices and verify that A – 1 A = I3.
|A| =
= 1(16 – 9) – 3(4 – 3) + 3(3 – 4)
= 7 – 3 – 3
= 1
Hence, A – 1 exists
Cofactors of A are:
C11 = 7 C21 = – 3 C31 = – 3
C12 = – 1 C22 = – 1 C32 = 0
C13 = – 1 C23 = 0 C33 = 1
adj A =
=
So, adj A =
Now, A – 1 =
Also, A – 1.A =
=
=
Hence, A – 1.A = I
