Expert verified

Thus, a third order determinant in which no element is 0, but for which the determinant is 0 is111111111

Step by step solution

01

- Write a third order determinant

A third order determinant is determinant of a square matrix of order 3.

It can be simplified as shown below

abcdefghi=aefhibdfgi+cdegh

02

- Write a third order determinant in which no element is 0

Substitute 1 for all elements in a third order determinant

111111111

03

- Simplify 111111111

To evaluate this determinant expand by using minors

111111111=1111111111+11111=111111+111=00+0=0
