Given the matrix : $\small \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0&0 \\ 0 &\cos \alpha &\sin \alpha \\ 0 &\sin \alpha &-\cos \alpha \end{bmatrix} =A$

To find the inverse we have to first find adjA then as we know the relation:

$A^{-1} = \frac{1}{|A|}adjA$

So, calculating |A| :

$|A| = 1(-\cos^2 \alpha-\sin^2 \alpha)+0(0-0)+0(0-0)$

$=-(\cos^2 \alpha + \sin^2 \alpha) = -1$

Now, calculating the cofactors terms and then adjA.

$A_{11} = (-1)^{1+1} (-\cos^2 \alpha - \sin^2 \alpha) = -1$ $A_{12} = (-1)^{1+2} (0-0) = 0$

$A_{13} = (-1)^{1+3} (0-0) =0$ $A_{21} = (-1)^{2+1} (0-0) = 0$

$A_{22} = (-1)^{2+2} (-\cos \alpha-0) = -\cos \alpha$ $A_{23} = (-1)^{2+1} (\sin \alpha-0) = -\sin \alpha$

$A_{31} = (-1)^{3+1} (0-0) = 0$ $A_{32} = (-1)^{3+2} (\sin \alpha-0) =-\sin \alpha$

$A_{33} = (-1)^{3+3} (\cos \alpha - 0) = \cos \alpha$

So, we have $adjA = \begin{bmatrix} -1 &0 &0 \\ 0& -\cos \alpha &-\sin \alpha \\ 0& -\sin \alpha &\cos \alpha \end{bmatrix}$

Therefore inverse of A will be:

$A^{-1} = \frac{1}{|A|}adjA$

$A^{-1} = \frac{1}{-1}\begin{bmatrix} -1 &0 &0 \\ 0& -\cos \alpha &-\sin \alpha \\ 0& -\sin \alpha &\cos \alpha \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}1 &0 &0 \\ 0&\cos \alpha &\sin \alpha \\ 0& \sin \alpha &-\cos \alpha \end{bmatrix}$
