**Exercise: Finding the Adjoint and Inverse of a Matrix**

Objective: Find the adjoint of the matrix \( A \). Then use the adjoint to find the inverse of \( A \) (if possible). If not possible, enter "IMPOSSIBLE."

**Given Matrix:**
\[
A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 3 \\ 2 & 4 \end{bmatrix}
\]

**Solution Steps:**

1. **Adjoint of Matrix \( A \):**
   - The adjoint of matrix \( A \) is obtained by taking the transpose of the cofactor matrix of \( A \).
   \[
   \text{adj}(A) = \begin{bmatrix} 4 & -3 \\ -2 & 1 \end{bmatrix}
   \]
   - The first element (4) is obtained by swapping the elements on the main diagonal of \( A \).
   - The off-diagonal elements are negated (-3 and -2).

2. **Inverse of Matrix \( A \):**
   - The inverse \( A^{-1} \) can be found using the formula:
   \[
   A^{-1} = \frac{1}{\det(A)} \times \text{adj}(A)
   \]
   - Determine if \( \det(A) \neq 0 \) for \( A^{-1} \) to exist.
   - Substitute the values to find the inverse matrix.

**Note:** The checkmark indicates that all steps have been verified, ensuring the possibility to calculate \( A^{-1} \). If \( \det(A) = 0 \), then the inverse is "IMPOSSIBLE."

This exercise demonstrates calculating the adjoint and verifying the computation of an inverse matrix for educational purposes.
