Given that A=\begin{bmatrix} 1 &2 &1 \\ 2 &3 &1 \\ 1 & 1 & 5 \end{bmatrix};

So, let us assume that A^{-1} = B 

|A| = 1(15-1) -2(10-1) +1(2-3) = 14-18-1 = -5 \neq 0

Hence its inverse exists;

A^{-1} = \frac{1}{|A|} adjA    or  B = \frac{1}{|A|}C;

so, we now calculate the value of adjA

Cofactors of A;

A_{11}= (-1)^{1+1}(15-1) = 14          A_{12}= (-1)^{1+2}(10-1) = -9

A_{13}= (-1)^{1+3}(2-3) = -1          A_{21}= (-1)^{2+1}(10-1) = -9

A_{22}= (-1)^{2+2}(5-1) = 4             A_{23}= (-1)^{2+3}(1-2) = 1

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

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

\Rightarrow adjA =C= \begin{bmatrix} 14 &-9 &-1 \\ -9& 4& 1\\ -1& 1 &-1 \end{bmatrix}

A^{-1} =B= \frac{1}{|A|} adjA = \frac{1}{-5}\begin{bmatrix} 14 &-9 &-1 \\ -9& 4& 1\\ -1& 1 &-1 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{-14}{5} &&\frac{9}{5} &&\frac{1}{5} \\ \\ \frac{9}{5} && \frac{-4}{5} &&\frac{-1}{5} \\ \\ \frac{1}{5} &&\frac{-1}{5} &&\frac{1}{5} \end{bmatrix}

Finding the inverse of B ;

|B| = \frac{-14}{5}(\frac{-4}{25}-\frac{1}{25})-\frac{9}{5}(\frac{9}{25}+\frac{1}{25})+\frac{1}{5}(\frac{-9}{25}+\frac{4}{25})

= \frac{70}{125}-\frac{90}{125}-\frac{5}{125} = \frac{-25}{125} = \frac{-1}{5} \neq 0

Hence its inverse exists;

B^{-1} = \frac{1}{|B|}adj B

Now, finding the adjB;

A^{-1} =B= \frac{1}{|A|} adjA = \frac{1}{-5}\begin{bmatrix} 14 &-9 &-1 \\ -9& 4& 1\\ -1& 1 &-1 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{-14}{5} &&\frac{9}{5} &&\frac{1}{5} \\ \\ \frac{9}{5} && \frac{-4}{5} &&\frac{-1}{5} \\ \\ \frac{1}{5} &&\frac{-1}{5} &&\frac{1}{5} \end{bmatrix}

B_{11}= (-1)^{1+1}(\frac{-4}{25}-\frac{1}{25}) = \frac{-1}{5}                            B_{12}= (-1)^{1+2}(\frac{9}{25}+\frac{1}{25}) = \frac{-2}{5}

B_{13}= (-1)^{1+3}(\frac{-9}{25}+\frac{4}{25}) = \frac{-1}{5}                          B_{21}= (-1)^{2+1}(\frac{9}{25}+\frac{1}{25}) = -\frac{2}{5}

B_{22}= (-1)^{2+2}(\frac{-14}{25}-\frac{1}{25}) = \frac{-3}{5}                     B_{23}= (-1)^{2+3}(\frac{14}{25}-\frac{9}{25}) = \frac{-1}{5}

B_{31}= (-1)^{3+1}(\frac{-9}{25}+\frac{4}{25}) = \frac{-1}{5}        

B_{32}= (-1)^{3+2}(\frac{14}{25}-\frac{9}{25}) = \frac{-1}{5}

B_{33}= (-1)^{3+3}(\frac{56}{25}-\frac{81}{25}) = \frac{-25}{25} =-1

adjB = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{-1}{5} &&\frac{-2}{5} &&\frac{-1}{5} \\ \\\frac{-2}{5}&& \frac{-3}{5} && \frac{-1}{5}\\ \\ \frac{-1}{5}&& \frac{-1}{5}&& -1 \end{bmatrix}

B^{-1} = \frac{1}{|B|}adjB = \frac{-5}{1}\begin{bmatrix} \frac{-1}{5} &&\frac{-2}{5} &&\frac{-1}{5} \\ \\\frac{-2}{5}&& \frac{-3}{5} && \frac{-1}{5}\\ \\ \frac{-1}{5}&& \frac{-1}{5}&& -1 \end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix} 1 &2 &1 \\ 2& 3& 1\\ 1 & 1 &5 \end{bmatrix}

  L.H.S. = B^{-1} = (A^{-1})^{-1} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 &2 &1 \\ 2& 3& 1\\ 1 & 1 &5 \end{bmatrix}

R.H.S. = A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 &2 &1 \\ 2& 3& 1\\ 1& 1 &5 \end{bmatrix}

Hence proved L.H.S. =R.H.S..
