Evaluate: (a) \(\left|\begin{array}{rrrr}2 & -1 & 3 & -4 \\ 2 & 1 & -2 & 1 \\ 3 & 3 & -5 & 4 \\ 5 & 2 & -1 & 4\end{array}\right|\) (b) \(\left|\begin{array}{rrrr}2 & -1 & 4 & -3 \\ -1 & 1 & 0 & 2 \\ 3 & 2 & 3 & -1 \\ 1 & -2 & 2 & -3\end{array}\right|\) (c) \(\left|\begin{array}{rrrr}1 & -2 & 3 & -1 \\ 1 & 1 & -2 & 0 \\ 2 & 0 & 4 & -5 \\ 1 & 4 & 4 & -6\end{array}\right|\)
Let \(\sigma=24513\) and \(\tau=41352\) be permutations in \(S_{5} .\) Find \((\mathrm{a}) \quad \tau \circ \sigma,(\mathrm{b}) \quad \sigma^{-1}\)
Let \(V\) be the space of \(m\) -square matrices (as above), and suppose \(D: V \rightarrow K\). Show that the following weaker statement is equivalent to \(D\) being alternating: $$D\left(A_{1}, A_{2}, \ldots, A_{n}\right)=0 \quad \text { whenever } \quad A_{i}=A_{i+1} \text { for some } i$$
Find the determinant of \(F: \mathbf{R}^{3} \rightarrow \mathbf{R}^{3}\) defined by $$ F(x, y, z)=(x+3 y-4 z, 2 y+7 z, x+5 y-3 z) $$The determinant of a linear operator \(F\) is equal to the determinant of any matrix that represents \(F\). Thus first find the matrix \(A\) representing \(F\) in the usual basis (whose rows, respectively, consist of the coefficients of $x, y, z$ ). Then $$ A=\left[\begin{array}{rrr} 1 & 3 & -4 \\ 0 & 2 & 7 \\ 1 & 5 & -3 \end{array}\right], \quad \text { and so } \quad \operatorname{det}(F)=|A|=-6+21+0+8-35-0=-8 $$
Determine the parity (sign) of the permutation \(\sigma=364152\)
