(iii) $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2 & -1 & 1 \\ -1 & 2 & -1 \\ 1 & -1 & 2\end{array}\right]$
(iv) $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2 & 0 & -1 \\ 5 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 3\end{array}\right]$
(v) $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0 & 1 & -1 \\ 4 & -3 & 4 \\ 3 & -3 & 4\end{array}\right]$
(vi) $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0 & 0 & -1 \\ 3 & 4 & 5 \\ -2 & -4 & -7\end{array}\right]$
(vii) $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & \cos \alpha & \sin \alpha \\ 0 & \sin \alpha & -\cos \alpha\end{array}\right]$
(i) $A=\left[\begin{array}{lll}1 & 2 & 3 \\ 2 & 3 & 1 \\ 3 & 1 & 2\end{array}\right]$
Now,
$C_{11}=\left|\begin{array}{ll}3 & 1 \\ 1 & 2\end{array}\right|=5, C_{12}=-\left|\begin{array}{ll}2 & 1 \\ 3 & 2\end{array}\right|=-1$ and $C_{13}=\left|\begin{array}{ll}2 & 3 \\ 3 & 1\end{array}\right|=-7$

and $|C|=4$
$\therefore C^{-1}=\frac{1}{4}\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3 & 1 & -1 \\ 1 & 3 & 1 \\ -1 & 1 & 3\end{array}\right]$
(iv) $D=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2 & 0 & -1 \\ 5 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 3\end{array}\right]$
