Given the matrix : $\small \begin{bmatrix} 1 &0 &0 \\ 3 &3 &0 \\ 5 &2 &-1 \end{bmatrix} = A$

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| :

$|A| = 1(-3-0)-0(-3-0)+0(6-15) = -3$

Now, calculating the cofactors terms and then adjA.

$A_{11} = (-1)^{1+1} (-3-0) = -3$ $A_{12} = (-1)^{1+2} (-3-0) = 3$

$A_{13} = (-1)^{1+3} (6-15) =-9$ $A_{21} = (-1)^{2+1} (0-0) = 0$

$A_{22} = (-1)^{2+2} (-1-0) = -1$ $A_{23} = (-1)^{2+1} (2-0) = -2$

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

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

So, we have $adjA = \begin{bmatrix} -3 &0 &0 \\ 3& -1 &0 \\ -9& -2 &3 \end{bmatrix}$

Therefore inverse of A will be:

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

$= \frac{-1}{3}\begin{bmatrix} -3 &0 &0 \\ 3 & -1& 0\\ -9 &-2 &3 \end{bmatrix}$
