Hi,
can anyone give me an hint to proof the relation
det(I + x A) = 1 + x tr A + O(x^2)
thank you.

Ben Niehoff said:Write out the general form of (I+xA). The determinant must be some polynomial in x, right? So, carefully pick out the constant- and linear-order terms of this polynomial by choosing the appropriate factors in the determinant.
"Trace and Determinant" are mathematical operations used to find important properties of a square matrix.
The trace of a matrix is the sum of its diagonal elements, while the determinant is a single value that represents the scaling factor of the matrix.
Trace and determinant are used in many fields such as physics, engineering, and economics to solve systems of equations, find eigenvalues, and determine the stability of a system.
The trace is calculated by summing the diagonal elements of a matrix, while the determinant is found by using a specific formula that involves the elements of the matrix.
Some properties include the trace being independent of the order of matrix multiplication and the determinant being equal to the product of all of the matrix's eigenvalues.
