How to Find Inverse of 3 by 3 Matrix?

Let the matrix be (A=begin{bmatrix}a&b&c\ d&e&f\ g&h&iend{bmatrix})

Compute the determinant:

(det(A)=a(ei-fh)-b(di-fg)+c(dh-eg))

Check that (det(A)neq 0)

Find the cofactor matrix:

(C=begin{bmatrix}

(ei-fh) & -(di-fg) & (dh-eg)\

(bi-ch) & (ai-cg) & -(ah-bg)\

(bf-ce) & -(af-cd) & (ae-bd)

end{bmatrix})

Find the adjugate matrix:

(operatorname{adj}(A)=C^T)

Compute the inverse:

(A^{-1}=dfrac{1}{det(A)}operatorname{adj}(A))

If (det(A)=0), the inverse does not exist
