Let \(A, B, C, D\) be commuting \(n\) -square matrices. Consider the \(2 n\) -square block matrix \(M=\left[\begin{array}{ll}A & B \\ C & D\end{array}\right] .\) Prove that \(|M|=|A||D|-|B||C| .\) Show that the result may not be true if the matrices do not commute.
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 \(A=\left[\begin{array}{rrrr}1 & 2 & 3 & 2 \\ 1 & 0 & -2 & 3 \\ 3 & -1 & 2 & 5 \\ 4 & -3 & 0 & -1\end{array}\right]\) and \(B=\left[\begin{array}{rrrr}1 & 3 & -1 & 5 \\ 2 & -3 & 1 & 4 \\ 0 & -5 & 2 & 1 \\ 3 & 0 & 5 & -2\end{array}\right] .\) Find the minor and the signed minor corresponding to the following submatrices: \(\left.\begin{array}{lll}\text { (a) } & A(1,4 ; & 3,4\end{array}\right)\) (b) \(\quad B(1,4 ; \quad 3,4)\) \(\begin{array}{llll}\text { (c) } & A(2,3 ; & 2,4),(\mathrm{d}) & B(2,3 ; & 2,4)\end{array}\)
Consider the permutation \(\sigma=j_{1} j_{2} \cdots j_{n}\). Show that \(\operatorname{sgn} \sigma^{-1}=\operatorname{sgn} \sigma\) and, for scalars \(a_{i j}\) show that $$a_{j_{1} 1} a_{j_{2} 2} \cdots a_{j_{n} n}=a_{1 k_{1}} a_{2 k_{2}} \cdots a_{n k_{n}}$$ where \(\sigma^{-1}=k_{1} k_{2} \cdots k_{n}\)
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
