Use mathematical induction to prove that if \(A\) is an \((n+1) \times(n+1)\) matrix with two identical rows, then \(\operatorname{det}(A)=0\)
Let \(A\) be a nonsingular \(n \times n\) matrix with \(n>1\) Show that \\[ \operatorname{det}(\operatorname{adj} A)=(\operatorname{det}(A))^{n-1} \\]
Use determinants to determine whether the following \(2 \times 2\) matrices are nonsingular: (a) \(\left(\begin{array}{ll}3 & 5 \\ 2 & 4\end{array}\right)\) (b) \(\left(\begin{array}{ll}3 & 6 \\ 2 & 4\end{array}\right)\) (c) \(\left(\begin{array}{rr}3 & -6 \\ 2 & 4\end{array}\right)\)
Suppose that a \(3 \times 3\) matrix \(A\) factors into a product \\[ \left[\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ l_{21} & 1 & 0 \\ l_{31} & l_{32} & 1 \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ccc} u_{11} & u_{12} & u_{13} \\ 0 & u_{22} & u_{23} \\ 0 & 0 & u_{33} \end{array}\right] \\] Determine the value of det(A).
Evaluate the following determinants: (a) \(\left|\begin{array}{rr}3 & 5 \\ -2 & -3\end{array}\right|\) (b) \(\left|\begin{array}{rr}5 & -2 \\ -8 & 4\end{array}\right|\) (c) \(\left|\begin{array}{lll}3 & 1 & 2 \\ 2 & 4 & 5 \\ 2 & 4 & 5\end{array}\right|\) (d) \(\left|\begin{array}{rrr}4 & 3 & 0 \\ 3 & 1 & 2 \\ 5 & -1 & -4\end{array}\right|\) (e) \(\left|\begin{array}{rrr}1 & 3 & 2 \\ 4 & 1 & -2 \\ 2 & 1 & 3\end{array}\right|\) (f) \(\left|\begin{array}{rrr}2 & -1 & 2 \\ 1 & 3 & 2 \\ 5 & 1 & 6\end{array}\right|\) (g) \(\left|\begin{array}{llll}2 & 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 6 & 2 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 & -2 & 3\end{array}\right|\) (h) \(\left|\begin{array}{rrrr}2 & 1 & 2 & 1 \\ 3 & 0 & 1 & 1 \\ -1 & 2 & -2 & 1 \\ -3 & 2 & 3 & 1\end{array}\right|\)
