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
