Let's break down the given problem into parts:

### 1. Properties of Determinants:
   i. **Give one example for each property of determinants**:
   - **Property 1: Switching Rows Changes the Sign**  
     Example:  
     \[
     \text{det} \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 3 & 4 \end{bmatrix} = (1 \times 4) - (2 \times 3) = -2
     \]  
     If we switch the rows, we get:  
     \[
     \text{det} \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 4 \\ 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix} = (3 \times 2) - (4 \times 1) = 2
     \]  
     Switching rows reverses the sign of the determinant.

   - **Property 2: Determinant of a Matrix with a Zero Row or Column is Zero**  
     Example:  
     \[
     \text{det} \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix} = (1 \times 0) - (0 \times 0) = 0
     \]

   - **Property 3: Determinant is Linear in Any Row or Column**  
     Example:  
     If you have a matrix \(\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 3 & 4 \end{bmatrix}\) and multiply the first row by 2, the determinant is doubled.  
     Original:  
     \[
     \text{det} \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 3 & 4 \end{bmatrix} = -2
     \]  
     After scaling the first row by 2:  
     \[
     \text{det} \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 4 \\ 3 & 4 \end{bmatrix} = -4
     \]  

### 2. **Does every matrix have an inverse? What is the necessary condition for the existing inverse?**
   - **Answer**: Not every matrix has an inverse. A matrix has an inverse if and only if it is **non-singular**, meaning its determinant is **non-zero**. In other words, the determinant of the matrix must not be zero for the inverse to exist.

### 3. **Inverse of the matrix**:
   The matrix \(A\) given is:
   \[
   A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 3 & 3 \\ 1 & 4 & 3 \\ 1 & 3 & 4 \end{bmatrix}
   \]
   
   To find the inverse of \(A\), we will use:
   - **Adjoint method**: The inverse of a matrix \(A\) is given by:
     \[
     A^{-1} = \frac{1}{\text{det}(A)} \cdot \text{adj}(A)
     \]
   - **Elementary row operations**: This method involves row-reducing the augmented matrix \([A | I]\) until the left-hand side becomes the identity matrix, and the right-hand side becomes the inverse.

#### Finding the Inverse (Step-by-Step):

Let me calculate the determinant of \(A\) and proceed with finding the inverse using the adjoint method. I’ll start with computing the determinant.

The determinant of the matrix \( A \) is 1. Since the determinant is non-zero, the matrix is invertible, and we can proceed to find the inverse.

Now, let's find the inverse of \( A \) using the adjoint method.

### Steps for Adjoint Method:
1. **Cofactor matrix**: Compute the matrix of cofactors of \( A \).
2. **Adjugate (Adjoint)**: Transpose the cofactor matrix.
3. **Inverse**: Divide the adjugate matrix by the determinant.

Let me compute the inverse matrix using this approach.The inverse of the matrix \( A \) using the adjoint method is:

\[
A^{-1} = \begin{bmatrix} 7 & -3 & -3 \\ -1 & 1 & 0 \\ -1 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}
\]

This can also be found using elementary row operations. Would you like to go through that method as well, or do you have any questions on this?
