if one is presented with an n x n where n = 4.
What is the rule called which allows the i'th row and the j'th column to be removed from the matrix in order to make calculating the determinant easier ?
Secondly if one wants to square [tex] \left[ \begin{array}{cccc} 2 & 5 & 7 & 6 \\ 2 & 9 & 2 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 & -2 & 1 \\ 6 & 7 & 1 & -5\end{array}\right ] ^2[/tex]
Do I square every element of matrix individually ?
