Answer

The adjoint of A is the transpose of the cofactor matrix C. Hence, adj(A)=CT=[243020065001]

Steps

Step 1 :Calculate the cofactor matrix of A. The cofactor of an element aij is given by (1)i+j times the determinant of the matrix obtained by removing the i-th row and j-th column. In this case, the cofactor matrix C of A is C=[240030602051]

Step 2 :The adjoint of A is the transpose of the cofactor matrix C. Hence, adj(A)=CT=[243020065001]
