Given,
The matrix A=214301112

The determinant of A, |A| = 2(0 – 1) + 1( – 6 + 1) + 4( – 3) = – 19 ≠ 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 =011231123011141224122111140124312130=1536811143

Co-factors

=(1)1+1(1)(1)1+2(5)(1)1+3(3)(1)2+1(6)(1)2+2(8)(1)2+3(1)(1)3+1(1)(1)3+2(14)(1)3+3(3)=1536811143

Transpose of the matrix A with co-factors

CAT=1536811143T=1615814313=adjA

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

=1191615814313=1191615814313
