Using the property $Amathrm{adj}(A) = det(A)I_n$, prove that $det(mathrm{adj}(A^3)) = (det(A))^{3n-3}$

Suppose that $A$ is invertible $n times n$ matrices. Then using the property $A~mathrm{adj}(A) = det(A)I_n$, prove that $det(mathrm{adj}(A^3)) = (det(A))^{3n-3}$



I started with.



$$ A~mathrm{adj}(A) = det(A)I_n $$



I took $det()$ of both sides, then raised both side to power of $3$, then I multiplied both sides by $1/det(A^3)$, then I use the rule $(mathrm{adj}(A))^n = mathrm{adj}(A^n)$ on the left side, and combine exponents on the right side to complete the proof that



$$ det(mathrm{adj}(A^3)) = (det(A))^{3n-3} $$



the only thing I wanted to confirm if i did this right is if $(mathrm{adj}(A))^n = mathrm{adj}(A^n)$?

          Yes (link). Also, as $A^3$ is also invertible, we can start with:$$A^3{rm adj(A^3)}={rm det}(A^3)I_n.$$
          Then, taking determinant on both sides:
          $$ {rm det}(A^3){rm det}({rm adj(A^3)})= ({rm det}(A^3))^n.$$
