Section 8.4: Determinants Definition of Cofactors
Definition of Cofactors • Let M = • The cofactor of the i-th row and the j-th column is defined by • Aij = (-1)i + j(2 x 2 determinant obtained by deleting the i-th row and the j-th column)
Definition of Cofactors • Let M = • The cofactor of the i-th row and the j-th column is defined by • Aij = (-1)i + j(2 x 2 determinant obtained by deleting the i-th row and the j-th column)
Definition of Cofactors • Let M = • The cofactor of the i-th row and the j-th column is defined by • Aij = (-1)i + j(2 x 2 determinant obtained by deleting the i-th row and the j-th column)
Relation between Cofactors and Determinants • Let M = • det M = aei + bfg + cdh – ceg – afh – bdi Expansion along the 1st row
Expansion along the 2nd row • Let M = • det M = aei + bfg + cdh – ceg – afh – bdi Expansion along the 2nd row
b e b e h h = 0 Expansion along the columns Expansion along the 1st column • What should be the value of • bA11 + eA21 + hA31? C1 – C2 • Similarly, aA21 + bA22 + cA23 = 0.
Applications • = (a + a’)A11 + (d + d’)A21 + (g + g’)A31 • = (aA11 + dA21 + gA31) + (a’A11 + d’A21 + g’A31) Why?
Adjoint Matrix • Let M = • The adjoint matrix of M is defined by • adj M =
det M Expansion along the first row The product of M and adj M • M(adj M) =
det M Expansion along the second row The product of M and adj M • M(adj M) = det M det M
0 dA21 + eA22 + fA23 = det M, but aA21 + bA22 + cA23 = 0. The product of M and adj M • M(adj M) = det M det M det M
0 0 0 0 0 0 gA31 + hA32 + iA33 = det M, but aA31 + bA32 + cA33 = 0. The product of M and adj M • M(adj M) = det M 0 = (det M)I det M det M
Conclusion • Let M be a square matrix. • Then M(adj M) = (adj M)M = (det M)I. • If det M 0, then
