Question

If A is a non-singular matrix of order 3, then adj (adj A) is equal to ________________.

Answer 1

Given:
A is a non-singular matrix of order 3


As we know,
$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{adj}\left(\mathrm{adj}A\right)={\left|A\right|}^{n-2}A,\mathrm{where}n\mathrm{is}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{order}\mathrm{of}A \\ \Rightarrow \mathrm{adj}\left(\mathrm{adj}A\right)={\left|A\right|}^{3-2}A\left(\because \mathrm{Order}\mathrm{of}A\mathrm{is}3\right) \\ \Rightarrow \mathrm{adj}\left(\mathrm{adj}A\right)={\left|A\right|}^{1}A \\ \Rightarrow \mathrm{adj}\left(\mathrm{adj}A\right)=\left|A\right|A \end{gathered}$$


Hence, adj (adj A) is equal to |A|A.
