Theorem 4.4.

If A is a square matrix of size n x n, then

| A . adj ( A )|=|A|n
From (4.7) before,thus
A . adj( A)=diag¿
We can get that
A . adj( A)=diag¿
¿| A|.∨A∨...∨A∨¿
n
¿ ¿ A∨¿ ¿

If there is a non-zero scalar number, then there will be a scalar number such that
a
1
a . =1
a
1
The scalar number is called the inverse of a and is represented by a−1
a
Theorem 4.5. Suppose A is invertible. The inverse of the matrix A is expressed as A−1 , which is
a square matrix such that
−1 −1
A A =A A=I
An invertible matrix A means that the matrix is not singular (det ( A)≠ 0)
Theorem 4.6. Let A be a non-silver matrix of size n x n , then
−1 1
A = adj( A)
det ⁡(A )
By using theorem 4.3 yaitu
A . adj( A)=det( A). I
Multiply both sides by A . By theorem 4.3, we obtain
−1 −1
A A . adj ( A)= A det ( A). I
−1
I . adj ( A)=det ( A ). A
−1
adj ( A)=det ( A ). A
Because A is not singular, then det ( A)≠ 0. Divide both sides by det ( A), to obtain
−1 1
A = adj( A)
det ⁡(A )
Example :

[ ]
2 3 4
A = −1 1 −2
−1 2 −1

And det ( A)=5 . From example 4.2, we get

[ ]
3 11 −10
A= 1 2 0
−1 −7 5

So by using theorem 4.6, the inverse of matrix A is

[ ]
3 11

5 5

[ ]

A = 1 2 0 = 0
