Given the matrix : $\small \begin{bmatrix} 2 &1 &3 \\ 4 &-1 &0 \\ -7 &2 &1 \end{bmatrix} =A$

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| :

$|A| = 2(-1-0)-1(4-0)+3(8-7) =-2-4+3 = -3$

Now, calculating the cofactors terms and then adjA.

$A_{11} = (-1)^{1+1} (-1-0) = -1$ $A_{12} = (-1)^{1+2} (4-0) = -4$

$A_{13} = (-1)^{1+3} (8-7) =1$ $A_{21} = (-1)^{2+1} (1-6) = 5$

$A_{22} = (-1)^{2+2} (2+21) = 23$ $A_{23} = (-1)^{2+1} (4+7) = -11$

$A_{31} = (-1)^{3+1} (0+3) = 3$ $A_{32} = (-1)^{3+2} (0-12) =12$

$A_{33} = (-1)^{3+3} (-2-4) = -6$

So, we have $adjA = \begin{bmatrix} -1 &5 &3 \\ -4& 23 &12 \\ 1& -11 &-6 \end{bmatrix}$

Therefore inverse of A will be:

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

$A^{-1} = \frac{1}{-3} \begin{bmatrix} -1 &5 &3 \\ -4& 23 &12 \\ 1& -11 &-6 \end{bmatrix}$
