Your Input

Find the adjoint matrix of $$$\left[\begin{array}{cc}a & b\\c & d\end{array}\right]$$$.

Solution

The classical adjoint, adjugate, or adjunct of a square matrix is the transpose of its cofactor matrix.

The cofactor matrix is $$$\left[\begin{array}{cc}d & - c\\- b & a\end{array}\right]$$$ (for steps, see cofactor matrix calculator).

The transpose of the cofactor matrix is $$$\left[\begin{array}{cc}d & - b\\- c & a\end{array}\right]$$$ (for steps, see matrix transpose calculator).

Answer

The adjoint matrix is $$$\left[\begin{array}{cc}d & - b\\- c & a\end{array}\right]$$$A.
