Solve the following systems by determinants: (a) \(\left\\{\begin{array}{l}3 x+5 y=8 \\ 4 x-2 y=1\end{array}\right.\) (b) \(\left\\{\begin{array}{l}2 x-3 y=-1 \\ 4 x+7 y=-1\end{array}\right.\) (c) \(\left\\{\begin{array}{c}a x-2 b y=c \\ 3 a x-5 b y=2 c\end{array} \quad(a b \neq 0)\right.\)
Show that \(g=g\left(x_{1}, \ldots, x_{n}\right)=(-1)^{n} V_{n-1}(x)\) where \(g=g\left(x_{i}\right)\) is the difference product in Problem 8.19 \(x=x_{n},\) and \(V_{n-1}\) is the Vandermonde determinant defined by
Evaluate the determinant of each of the following matrices: (a) $A=\left[\begin{array}{lll}2 & 3 & 4 \\ 5 & 4 & 3 \\ 1 & 2 & 1\end{array}\right]$ (b) $B=\left[\begin{array}{rrr}1 & -2 & 3 \\ 2 & 4 & -1 \\ 1 & 5 & -2\end{array}\right]$ (c) $C=\left[\begin{array}{rrr}1 & 3 & -5 \\ 3 & -1 & 2 \\ 1 & -2 & 1\end{array}\right]\(Use the diagram in Fig. \)8-1$ to obtain the six products: (a) \(|A|=2(4)(1)+3(3)(1)+4(2)(5)-1(4)(4)-2(3)(2)-1(3)(5)=8+9+40-16-12-15=14\) (b) \(|B|=-8+2+30-12+5-8=9\) (c) \(|C|=-1+6+30-5+4-9=25\)
Show that if \(A\) is diagonal (triangular) then adj \(A\) is diagonal (triangular).
Suppose \(B\) is row equivalent to a square matrix \(A\). Prove that \(|B|=0\) if and only if \(|A|=0\).
