Let A be a 4 4 matrix and P be its adjoint matrix. If |P|= | A 2 | , then |A⁻¹ |=
Options
- A1 4
- B8
- C2
- D4
Correct answer
D. 4
Step-by-step solution
aligned & P = adj ( A ) & | P |=| adj ( A )|=| A |^ n-1 =| A |^3 & | P |= | A 2 |= 1 2^4 | ~A | & | A |^3= 1 2^4 | ~A | | A |^2= 1 16 | ~A |= 1 4 aligned | A ⁻¹ |= 1 | ~A | = 4
