Chapter 4: Q. 389 (page 483)

In the following exercise, evaluate each determinant by expanding by minors along the first row.
$|\begin{array}{r} - 2 & - 3 & - 4 \\ 5 & - 6 & 7 \\ - 1 & 2 & 0 \end{array}|$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of the given determinant is $33$ .

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given information

The given determinant is :

$|\begin{array}{r} - 2 & - 3 & - 4 \\ 5 & - 6 & 7 \\ - 1 & 2 & 0 \end{array}|$

Step 2. Expanding the determinant along the first row by minors

The expansion of general determinant along the first row is given as: $|\begin{array}{l} a_{1} & b_{1} & c_{1} \\ a_{2} & b_{2} & c_{2} \\ a_{3} & b_{3} & c_{3} \end{array}| = a_{1} |\begin{array}{l} b_{2} & c_{2} \\ b_{3} & c_{3} \end{array}| - b_{1} |\begin{array}{l} a_{2} & c_{2} \\ a_{3} & c_{3} \end{array}| + c_{1} |\begin{array}{l} a_{2} & b_{2} \\ a_{3} & b_{3} \end{array}|$

Similarly, for the given determinant, we have:

localid="1644588932923" $|\begin{matrix} - 2 & - 3 & - 4 \\ 5 & - 6 & 7 \\ - 1 & 2 & 0 \end{matrix}| = - 2 |\begin{matrix} - 6 & 7 \\ 2 & 0 \end{matrix}| + 3 |\begin{matrix} 5 & 7 \\ - 1 & 0 \end{matrix}| - 4 |\begin{matrix} 5 & - 6 \\ - 1 & 2 \end{matrix}|$

Step 3. evaluating the determinant

Evaluating the determinant, we get:

$= - 2 |\begin{matrix} - 6 & 7 \\ 2 & 0 \end{matrix}| + 3 |\begin{matrix} 5 & 7 \\ - 1 & 0 \end{matrix}| - 4 |\begin{matrix} 5 & - 6 \\ - 1 & 2 \end{matrix}| = - 2 [- 6 脳 0 - 7 脳 2] + 3 [5 脳 0 - (- 1 脳 7)] - 4 [5 脳 2 - (- 6 脳 - 1)] = - 2 [0 - 14] + 3 [7] - 4 [10 - 6] = 28 + 21 - 40 = 33$
