= Solution

All three <eigenvalues> are nonzero, so $D^{-1}=\operatorname{diag}(-1,1/2,1)$. The <inverse matrix> is therefore
$$
\boxed{A^{-1}=BD^{-1}B^{-1}=\begin{pmatrix}4&3&-5\\1/2&1/2&-1/2\\3&3&-4\end{pmatrix}.}
$$
Multiplying this matrix by $A$ gives $I$, independently checking both the sign and the fractions.
