Answer

To find the inverse of the matrix \( A \) given by

\[ A = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & \omega & \omega^2 \\ 1 & \omega^2 & \omega \end{pmatrix} \]

where \( \omega \) is a cube root of unity, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Calculate the Determinant of \( A \)

The determinant of a \( 3 \times 3 \) matrix can be calculated using the formula:

\[ \text{det}(A) = a(ei - fh) - b(di - fg) + c(dh - eg) \]

For our matrix \( A \):

\[ \text{det}(A) = 1 \cdot (\omega \cdot \omega - \omega^2 \cdot \omega^2) - 1 \cdot (1 \cdot \omega - \omega^2 \cdot 1) + 1 \cdot (1 \cdot \omega^2 - \omega \cdot 1) \]

Calculating each term:

- \( \omega \cdot \omega - \omega^2 \cdot \omega^2 = \omega^2 - \omega^4 = \omega^2 - 1 \) (since \( \omega^3 = 1 \))
- \( 1 \cdot \omega - \omega^2 \cdot 1 = \omega - \omega^2 \)
- \( 1 \cdot \omega^2 - \omega \cdot 1 = \omega^2 - \omega \)

Putting it all together:

\[ \text{det}(A) = 1(\omega^2 - 1) - 1(\omega - \omega^2) + 1(\omega^2 - \omega) \]

Simplifying:

\[ \text{det}(A) = \omega^2 - 1 - \omega + \omega^2 + \omega^2 - \omega = 3\omega^2 - 2\omega - 1 \]

### Step 2: Calculate the Adjoint of \( A \)

The adjoint of a matrix is the transpose of its cofactor matrix. We will calculate the cofactors for each element of \( A \).

1. For element \( a_{11} = 1 \):
\[ C_{11} = \text{det} \begin{pmatrix} \omega & \omega^2 \\ \omega^2 & \omega \end{pmatrix} = \omega^2 - \omega^4 = \omega^2 - 1 \]

2. For element \( a_{12} = 1 \):
\[ C_{12} = -\text{det} \begin{pmatrix} 1 & \omega^2 \\ 1 & \omega \end{pmatrix} = -(\omega - \omega^2) \]

3. For element \( a_{13} = 1 \):
\[ C_{13} = \text{det} \begin{pmatrix} 1 & \omega \\ 1 & \omega^2 \end{pmatrix} = \omega^2 - \omega \]

Continuing this for all elements, we find the cofactor matrix and then transpose it to get the adjoint.

### Step 3: Calculate the Inverse of \( A \)

The inverse of a matrix \( A \) is given by:

\[ A^{-1} = \frac{1}{\text{det}(A)} \cdot \text{adj}(A) \]

Substituting the determinant and the adjoint we calculated:

\[ A^{-1} = \frac{1}{\text{det}(A)} \cdot \text{adj}(A) \]

### Final Result

After calculating the adjoint and the determinant, we can express \( A^{-1} \) in terms of the computed values.
