Determinants - Introduction

A determinant is a scalar value calculated from the elements of a square matrix.
It is denoted by |A| or det(A).
Determinants are used in various areas of mathematics and sciences, such as solving systems of linear equations, finding the inverse of a matrix, and calculating areas and volumes.

Properties of Determinants

The determinant of a 1x1 matrix is equal to the only element in the matrix.

The determinant of the transpose of a matrix is the same as the determinant of the original matrix: det(A^T) = det(A).

If two rows (or columns) of a matrix are interchanged, the sign of the determinant changes: det(-A) = -det(A).

If a matrix has a row (or column) consisting entirely of zeros, the determinant is zero.

If a matrix has two equal rows (or columns), the determinant is zero.

Properties of Determinants cont.

If each element in a row (or column) of a matrix is multiplied by a scalar k, the determinant is multiplied by k: det(kA) = k.det(A).

If each element in a row (or column) of a matrix is multiplied by a scalar k, the determinant is divided by k when k is taken out of the matrix: det(A/k) = (1/k).det(A).

If two rows (or columns) of a matrix are proportional, the determinant is zero.

The determinant of a triangular matrix is the product of its diagonal elements.

The determinant of a block diagonal matrix is the product of the determinants of its diagonal blocks.

Cofactor Expansion

Cofactor expansion is a method used to calculate the determinant of a matrix.
It involves selecting a row or column and multiplying each element by its cofactor, then summing the products. Example: Let’s find the determinant of a 3x3 matrix A using cofactor expansion along the first row. A = | a b c | | d e f | | g h i | det(A) = a.cofactor(a) + b.cofactor(b) + c.cofactor(c)

Minors and Cofactors

A minor of an element in a matrix is the determinant of the submatrix obtained by removing the corresponding row and column.
The cofactor of an element is the product of its minor and a sign (+ or -) determined by its position in the matrix. Example: Let’s find the minor and cofactor of element a in matrix A. A = | a b c | | d e f | | g h i | Minor(a) = det( | e f | ) = e.i - f.h | h i | Cofactor(a) = (-1)^(1+1) * Minor(a) = Minor(a)

Properties of Cofactors

The cofactors of elements in even rows and odd columns have positive signs.

The cofactors of elements in odd rows and even columns have positive signs.

The cofactors of elements in even rows and even columns have negative signs.

The cofactors of elements in odd rows and odd columns have negative signs.

Evaluating Determinants

Determinants can be evaluated using various methods, including cofactor expansion, row or column operations, and properties of determinants.
It is important to choose the most efficient method depending on the size and structure of the matrix. Example: Evaluate the determinant of matrix A using cofactor expansion. A = | 3 1 2 | | 2 5 1 | | 4 3 2 | det(A) = 3.cofactor(3) + 1.cofactor(1) + 2.cofactor(2)

The determinant of a block diagonal matrix is the product of the determinants of its diagonal blocks.

The determinant of the identity matrix is always 1.

The determinant of the product of two matrices is the product of their determinants: det(AB) = det(A) * det(B).

The determinant of the inverse of a matrix is the reciprocal of the determinant of the original matrix: det(A^-1) = 1/det(A).

The determinant of the sum or difference of two matrices is the sum or difference of their determinants: det(A+B) = det(A) + det(B).

Determinants of 2x2 Matrices

For a 2x2 matrix A, the determinant is given by:
- det(A) = ad - bc, where A = | a b | | c d |
Example: Find the determinant of the matrix A = | 2 3 | | -1 4 |
- det(A) = (2 * 4) - (3 * -1) = 11

Determinants of 3x3 Matrices

For a 3x3 matrix A, the determinant can be calculated using the cofactor expansion method.
Let A = | a b c | | d e f | | g h i |
det(A) = a.cofactor(a) + b.cofactor(b) + c.cofactor(c)
Example: Find the determinant of the matrix A = | 1 2 3 | | 4 5 6 | | 7 8 9 |
- det(A) = 1.cofactor(1) + 2.cofactor(2) + 3.cofactor(3)

Example: Let’s find the determinant of a 3x3 matrix A using cofactor expansion along the first row.

A minor of an element in a matrix is the determinant of the submatrix obtained by removing the corresponding row and column.
The cofactor of an element is the product of its minor and a sign (+ or -) determined by its position in the matrix.
Example: Let’s find the minor and cofactor of element a in matrix A.
- A = | a b c | | d e f | | g h i |
- Minor(a) = det( | e f | ) = e.i - f.h | h i |
- Cofactor(a) = (-1)^(1+1) * Minor(a) = Minor(a)
