Prove that if a row or a column of an \(n \times n\) matrix \(A\) consists entirely of zeros, then \(\operatorname{det}(A)=0\)
Let \(A\) and \(B\) be \(2 \times 2\) matrices and let \\[ \begin{aligned} C &=\left(\begin{array}{ll} a_{11} & a_{12} \\ b_{21} & b_{22} \end{array}\right), \quad D=\left(\begin{array}{ll} b_{11} & b_{12} \\ a_{21} & a_{22} \end{array}\right) \\ E &=\left(\begin{array}{ll} 0 & \alpha \\ \beta & 0 \end{array}\right) \end{aligned} \\] (a) Show that \(\operatorname{det}(A+B)=\operatorname{det}(A)+\operatorname{det}(B)+\) \(\operatorname{det}(C)+\operatorname{det}(D)\) (b) Show that if \(B=E A\) then \(\operatorname{det}(A+B)=\) \(\operatorname{det}(A)+\operatorname{det}(B)\)
Let \(\mathbf{x}, \mathbf{y},\) and \(\mathbf{z}\) be vectors in \(\mathbb{R}^{3} .\) Show each of the following: (a) \(\mathbf{x} \times \mathbf{x}=\mathbf{0}\) (b) \(\mathbf{y} \times \mathbf{x}=-(\mathbf{x} \times \mathbf{y})\) (c) \(\mathbf{x} \times(\mathbf{y}+\mathbf{z})=(\mathbf{x} \times \mathbf{y})+(\mathbf{x} \times \mathbf{z})\) (d) \(\mathbf{z}^{T}(\mathbf{x} \times \mathbf{y})=\left|\begin{array}{lll}x_{1} & x_{2} & x_{3} \\ y_{1} & y_{2} & y_{3} \\ z_{1} & z_{2} & z_{3}\end{array}\right|\)
Evaluate the following determinants by inspection: (a) \(\left|\begin{array}{ll}3 & 5 \\ 2 & 4\end{array}\right|\) (b) \(\left|\begin{array}{rrr}2 & 0 & 0 \\ 4 & 1 & 0 \\ 7 & 3 & -2\end{array}\right|\) (c) \(\left|\begin{array}{lll}3 & 0 & 0 \\ 2 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 2 & 2\end{array}\right|\) (d) \(\left|\begin{array}{llll}4 & 0 & 2 & 1 \\ 5 & 0 & 4 & 2 \\ 2 & 0 & 3 & 4 \\ 1 & 0 & 2 & 3\end{array}\right|\)
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).
