If A is a square matrix of order 3, then | adj ( adj A^2 ) | is equal to
Options
- A|A|^2
- B|A|^4
- C|A|^8
- D|A|¹⁶
Correct answer
C. |A|^8
Step-by-step solution
Given matrix A is of order 3 . We know that, | adj ( adj A)|=|A|^ (n-1)^2 Similarly, | adj ( adj A^2 ) |= |A^2 |^ (3-1)^2 aligned & = |A^2 |^ 2^2 [ n=3] & = |A^2 |^4=|A|^8 aligned
