Work Step by Step

We are given: $A=\begin{bmatrix} -2 & 9 & 0 & -1\\4 &-6 & 8 &8\\0& -1 & -3 & 4\\7 & -7&3&1 \end{bmatrix}$ The minors are: $M_{41}=\begin{vmatrix} 9 & 0 & -1\\-6 & 8 &8\\ -1 & -3 & 4 \end{vmatrix}=478$ $M_{22}=\begin{vmatrix} -2 & 0 & -1\\0& -1 & 4\\7 & -7&1 \end{vmatrix}=9$ $M_{23}=\begin{vmatrix} -2 & 9 & -1\\0& -1 & 4\\7 & -7&1 \end{vmatrix}=191$ $M_{43}=\begin{vmatrix} -2 & 9 &-1\\4 &-6 & 8 \\0& -1 & 4 \end{vmatrix}=-108$ The cofactors of the matrix A are: $C_{41}=(−1)^{4+1}.M_{41}=-478$ $C_{22}=(−1)^{2+2}.M_{22}=9$ $C_{23}=(−1)^{2+3}.M_{23}=-191$ $C_{43}=(−1)^{4+3}.M_{43}=108$
