The inverse of a matrix can be expressed in terms of its matrix of cofactors.

Created almost 9 years ago, updated about 8 hours ago

The adjugate is $\operatorname{adj}(A)=C^T$, the transpose of the cofactor matrix. Cofactor identities imply $A\operatorname{adj}(A)=\operatorname{adj}(A)A=(\det A)I$. Thus, if $\det A\ne0$, $A^{-1}=\operatorname{adj}(A)/\det A$. The adjugate is not the conjugate transpose.
