Matrix Inversion

The document explains the process of matrix inversion using the adjoint and cofactor methods. It provides formulas for calculating the adjoint matrix, cofactor matrix, and minor matrix, along with a detailed example of finding the inverse of a specific 3x3 matrix. The determinant of the matrix is also calculated as part of the inversion process.

where:

𝑎𝑑𝑗[𝐴] - adjoint matrix of 𝐴

�𝐶𝑖𝑗 � - coffactor matrix of 𝐴

�𝑀𝑖𝑗 � - minor matrix of 𝐴

𝑎𝑖𝑗 - components of the parent matrix A

𝑀𝑖𝑗 is formed as the determinant of the matrix formed

when components of the 𝑖 𝑡ℎ row and 𝑗𝑡ℎ column are

deleted from the parent matrix. The determinant is

obtained as:
