Chapter 3: Q8P (page 95)

Show that if, in using the Laplace development, you accidentally multiply the elements of one row by the cofactors of another row, you get zero. Hint: Consider Fact 2b

Short Answer

Expert verified

It has been proved that zero is obtained.

Step by step solution

01

Results used

The fact used about determinants: The determinant is zero if two rows are identical.

02

Show that the determinant is zero

Suppose, in a Laplace transformation, you accidentally multiply elements of one row by the cofactors of another row.

Now, to find the determinant: We multiply each element of one row by its cofactor and add the results.

Here, if elements of one row are multiplied by cofactors of another, then two rows become identical.

If two rows are identical then the determinant is zero as per the fact given.
