The correct answer is a) (det A)^2.
To prove this, let's start by recalling the properties of the adjugate matrix. The adjugate matrix of A, denoted as adj A, is defined as the transpose of the cofactor matrix of A.
The cofactor matrix of A, denoted as cof A, is obtained by taking the determinant of each 2x2 submatrix of A, multiplying it by (-1) raised to the power of the sum of its row and column indices, and then transposing the resulting matrix.
Now, we know that A is an invertible matrix of order 3. This means that det A is not equal to 0.
Since A is invertible, each element of the cofactor matrix, cof A, is nonzero. Therefore, each element of the adjugate matrix, adj A, is also nonzero.
Now, let's consider the determinant of adj A. By definition, the determinant of adj A is the product of the diagonal elements of adj A. Since each element of adj A is nonzero, the determinant of adj A is also nonzero.
Now, let's consider the determinant of det A. Since A is invertible, det A is not equal to 0. Therefore, (det A)^2 is also nonzero.
Since both (det A)^2 and det adj A are nonzero, they must be equal. Therefore, the correct answer is a) (det A)^2.
