Homework Statement


if T is an invertible matrix, and A=(T^-1)B*T, prove that det B = det A


Homework Equations



A(BC) = (AB)C


The Attempt at a Solution


im not certain if inverse T and T will cancel to 1
A=B
det A = det B

What do you know of the determinant of the product of matrices and of the determinant of inverses? Use those facts and the proof should be immediate.
 
oh would be it
det(A) = det(T^-1)det(BT)?
 
Yes, but continue further.
 
oh alright, i think i got it.
det(A) = det(B)det(T)^-1det(T)
det(A) = det(B)

thanks for the help!
 
Thread 'Use greedy vertex coloring algorithm to prove the upper bound of χ'
Hi! I am struggling with the exercise I mentioned under "Homework statement". The exercise is about a specific "greedy vertex coloring algorithm". One definition (which matches what my book uses) can be found here: https://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~laci/HANDOUTS/greedycoloring.pdf Here is also a screenshot of the relevant parts of the linked PDF, i.e. the def. of the algorithm: Sadly I don't have much to show as far as a solution attempt goes, as I am stuck on how to proceed. I thought...
