The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( \text{det}((\text{adj}(B^{-1} A^{-1}))^{-1}) \). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Expression**: We start with the expression \( \text{adj}(B^{-1} A^{-1})^{-1} \). We will use properties of determinants and adjugates to simplify this expression. 2. **Using the Property of Inverses**: Recall that \( (AB)^{-1} = B^{-1} A^{-1} \). Therefore, we can rewrite our expression: \[ \text{adj}(B^{-1} A^{-1})^{-1} = \text{adj}((AB)^{-1})^{-1} = \text{adj}(AB) \] 3. **Using the Property of Adjugates**: We know that \( \text{adj}(A^{-1}) = \text{adj}(A)^{-1} \). Thus, we can apply this property: \[ \text{adj}((AB)^{-1})^{-1} = \text{adj}(AB) \] 4. **Finding the Determinant of the Adjugate**: The determinant of the adjugate of a matrix \( M \) is given by: \[ \text{det}(\text{adj}(M)) = \text{det}(M)^{n-1} \] where \( n \) is the order of the matrix. Here, \( n = 3 \). 5. **Calculating the Determinant of \( AB \)**: We can express the determinant of the product of two matrices as: \[ \text{det}(AB) = \text{det}(A) \cdot \text{det}(B) \] Given \( \text{det}(A) = 3 \) and \( \text{det}(B) = 2 \), we have: \[ \text{det}(AB) = 3 \cdot 2 = 6 \] 6. **Applying the Determinant of the Adjugate**: Now, we can find the determinant of the adjugate: \[ \text{det}(\text{adj}(AB)) = \text{det}(AB)^{3-1} = 6^{2} = 36 \] 7. **Final Result**: Thus, the value of \( \text{det}((\text{adj}(B^{-1} A^{-1}))^{-1}) \) is: \[ \boxed{36} \]
