Definition 1 Minor of an element aij of a determinant is the determinant obtained by
deleting its ith row and jth column in which element aij lies. Minor of an element aij is
denoted by Mij.

Cofactor of an element aij , denoted by Aij is defined by

Aij = (–1)i + j Mij , where Mij is minor of aij.

Δ = sum of the product of elements of any row (or column) with their corresponding cofactors. $Note If elements of a row (or column)
are multiplied with cofactors of any other row (or column), then their sum is zero.

Adjoint of a matrix
The adjoint of a square matrix A = [aij] n × n is defined as the transpose of the matrix [Aij] n × n, where Aij is the cofactor of the
element aij . Adjoint of the matrix A is denoted by adj A.

Theorem 1
If A be any given square matrix of order n, then |𝐴|(adj A) = (adj A) |𝐴| = |𝐴| I , where I is the identity matrix of order n

A square matrix A is said to be singular if A = 0

A square matrix A is said to be non-singular if A ≠ 0

Theorem 2 If A and B are nonsingular matrices of the same order, then AB and BA are also nonsingular matrices of the same order.

Theorem 3 The determinant of the product of matrices is equal to product of their respective determinants, that is, AB = A B , where
A and B are square matrices of the same order

In general, if A is a square matrix of order n, then |adj(A)| = |A|n – 1.
