Class 12 Maths · Determinants · Short Answer #49

If A is an invertible 3×3 matrix with det(A)=7, find det(A⁻¹).

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: 1/7
  1. Take determinants of AA⁻¹=I₃.
  2. Multiplicativity gives det(A)det(A⁻¹)=1; substitute det(A)=7 and divide by 7.
  3. Therefore det(A⁻¹)=1/7.
