Adjoint of a square matrix -

Transpose of the matrix of co-factors of elements of $A$ is called the adjoint of $A$

- wherein

Transpose of a Matrix -

The matrix obtained from any given matrix $A$, by interchanging its rows and columns.

- wherein

$A = \begin{bmatrix} 5a & -b\\ 3 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$

$\Rightarrow adj (A)= \begin{bmatrix} 2 & b\\ -3 & 5a \end{bmatrix}$

$\\ \Rightarrow A adj (A)= \begin{bmatrix} 5a & -b\\ 3 & 2 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 2 & b \\ -3 & 5a \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 10a + 3b & 0\\ 0 & 10a +3b \end{bmatrix}$

$\\ \Rightarrow A A ^{T}= \begin{bmatrix} 5a & -b\\ 3 & 2 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 5a & 3\\ -b & 2 \end{bmatrix}$$\\ = \begin{bmatrix} 25a^{2} + b^{2}& 15a-2b\\ 15a-2b & 13 \end{bmatrix}$
