Essential Adjoint Formulas:

FormulaCondition
adj(A) = (cofactor matrix)^TAlways
A * adj(A) = det(A) * IAlways
adj(A) * A = det(A) * IAlways
det(adj(A)) = det(A)^(n-1)n x n matrix
adj(adj(A)) = det(A)^(n-2) * Adet(A) != 0
adj(AB) = adj(B) * adj(A)Note the reversal
adj(kA) = k^(n-1) * adj(A)n x n matrix
adj(ATA^T) = (adj(A))^TAlways
adj(A^(-1)) = (adj(A))^(-1) = Adet\frac{A}{det}(A)det(A) != 0

For 2x2 matrix [[a,b],[c,d]]: adj = [[d,-b],[-c,a]] (swap diagonal, negate off-diagonal)

For 3x3: Must compute all 9 cofactors and transpose. No shortcut.
