## Formula

If $$a$$ is invertible:

$$|A^{-1}|=\frac1{|A|}$$

## Usage

- Used to calculate the determinant of an inverse matrix directly.

Question 1

If $$A$$ and $$B$$ are non-singular matrices of the same order, find the inverse of $$X = A(\operatorname{adj}(A^{-1}) + \operatorname{adj}(B^{-1}))^{-1}B$$.
