Question 1063250: If A is a square matrix of order 3 such that |A|=5 find|A adj A|

I assume you mean |A adj A| is |A adj(A)|
:
n = 3
:
Note that A adj(A) = |A|(I)
:
|A(adj A)| = |(|A| I)|
:
|A| |adj A| = |A|^n * |I|
:
Note that for constant k, |kA| = k^n |A| and
|(|A|I)| = |A|^n |I| = |A|^n
:
|A| |adj A| = |A|^n
:
we know that |A| not equal to 0
:
|adj A| = |A|^(n-1)
:
******************************
|A adj(A)| = 5 * 5^(3-1) = 125
