Given, 

The matrix A=001345247

The determinant of A, |A| = 0 + 0 – 1( – 12 + 8) = 4 ≠ 0

This indicates that the matrix have inverse

In order to find adjoint of the matrix A let's find the minors of the matrix A =454735273424014701270024014501350034=8114420430

Co-factors

=(1)1+1(8)(1)1+2(11)(1)1+3(4)(1)2+1(4)(1)2+2(2)(1)2+3(0)(1)3+1(4)(1)3+2(3)(1)3+3(0)=8114420430

Transpose of the matrix A with co-factors

CAT=8114420430T=8441123400=adjA

The inverse of the matrix A,A1=1|A|adjA

=148441123400
