This document discusses the cofactor method for finding the inverse of a matrix. It defines the cofactor of an element as the signed determinant of the corresponding minor matrix. The inverse is equal to the transpose of the cofactor matrix divided by the determinant of the original matrix. An example calculates the inverse of a 3x3 matrix using this method.

Cofactor Method for Inverses

Definition:

Then the inverse of A is the transpose of


the cofactor matrix times the reciprocal of
the determinant of A: The transpose of
the cofactor matrix is called the
adjugate matrix (also called the
classical adjoint) of A.
Cofactor Method for Inverses
• Let A = (aij) be an nxn matrix

• Recall, the co-factor Cij of element aij is:

Cij = (-1)i+j |Mij|

• Mij is the (n-1) x (n-1) matrix made by


removing the ROW i and COLUMN j of A
Cofactor Method for Inverses
• Put all co-factors in a matrix – called the
matrix of co-factors:

C11 C12 C1n


C21 C22 C2n

Cn1 Cn2 Cnn


Cofactor Method for Inverses
• Inverse of A is given by:
1
A = -1 (matrix of co-factors)T
|A|

C11 C21 Cn1


= 1 C12 C22 Cn2
|A|

C1n C2n Cnn
