Answer

$$\left[ \begin {array}{ccc} -1&-1&-3\\0& -1&-2\\0&0&1 \end {array} \right].$$

Work Step by Step

Let $A$ be a matrix given by $$A =\left[ \begin {array}{ccc} 1&-1&1\\ 0& 1&2\\0&0&-1 \end {array} \right].$$ Now, the cofactor matrix of $A$ can be calculated by $$\left[ \begin {array}{ccc} -1&0&0\\ -1& -1&0\\-3&-2&1 \end {array} \right]$$ hence the adjoint matrix of $A$ is given by $$\left[ \begin {array}{ccc} -1&-1&-3\\0& -1&-2\\0&0&1 \end {array} \right].$$
