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
Expansion along the columns Expansion along the 1st column
= bei +bfh +ceh - ceh – bei - bfh = 0
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? • Similarly, aA21 + bA22 + cA23 = 0.
How about Expansion along the columns Expansion along the 1st column • What should be the value? Ans: k3detA
If Then what is the value of = ? Ans: 0
Applications • = (a + a’)A11 + (d + d’)A21 + (g + g’)A31 • = (aA11 + dA21 + gA31) + (a’A11 + d’A21 + g’A31) Why?
