Any1 can explain to me why det(C)=det(A)^(n-1)
where A is n-by-n matrix and C is the matrix of cofactors of A.
I have been thinking, any 1 can help?thx!
thanks guys...anyway i understand the ideas behind already...it was just the notation that confused me...I know how to compute using big formula anyway.thx
Any1 can explain in an easy way?I know is something to do with the facts that row operations do not change the determinant of a matrix and also determinant of A=determinant of A transpose.But just dk how to prove in full sentence. Appreciate any1 help.
Can anyone explain to me this formula?
det(A)=∑ det(P)a1p(1)a2p(2)...a nP(n)
----------P
I understand the reasoning behind the formula, but i don't understand this notation...
the first row 1 0 0 2
the 2nd row 0 1 2 0
the 3rd row 0 2 1 0
the 4th row 2 0 0 1
I would like to ask which is the most efficient way of solving this ques.Though i can solve but is long method, I know there must have some quick 1, appreciate if u can share it. thank you
