    Study Notes

    Developing the Determinant of a Matrix

    • The determinant is a scalar value. It's a function of the entries of a square matrix. It allows characterizing some properties of the matrix.
    • The determinant of a matrix A is denoted det(A), det A, or |A|.
    • Determinants can be used to characterize nonsingular matrices.
    • Used to express solutions of nonsingular systems Ax = b
    • Used to express vector cross products.

    Determinant of $n \times n$ Matrix

    • Let $M_{ij}$ denote the determinant of the $(n-1) \times (n-1)$ submatrix of $A$ formed by deleting the $i^{th}$ row and $j^{th}$ column of $A$.
    • The determinant of the $n \times n$ matrix $A$ is defined by the first-row Laplace expansion.
    • $|A| = \sum^n_{j=1} (-1)^{i+j} a_{ij} M_{ij}$.

    Determinant of $2 \times 2$ Matrix

    • The determinant of the general $2 \times 2$ matrix $A=\begin{bmatrix} a_{11} & a_{12}\a_{21}&a_{22} \end{bmatrix}$ is $|A| = a_{11}a_{22} - a_{12}a_{21}$

    Determinant of $3 \times 3$ Matrix

    • The determinant is defined as $|A| = a_{11}(a_{22}a_{33} - a_{23}a_{32}) - a_{12}(a_{21}a_{33} - a_{23}a_{31}) + a_{13}(a_{21}a_{32} - a_{22}a_{31})$.
    • Alternative method for solving determinant for a 3x3 matrix A.

    Cofactors, Adjoint, and Inverse of a Matrix

    • The (i, j) cofactor of A, denoted by $C_{ij}$ is defined by $C_{ij}=(-1)^{i+j} M_{ij}$.
    • The adjoint of A, denoted by adj A, is the transpose of the matrix of cofactors.
    • The inverse of a matrix is given by $A^{-1} = \frac{1}{detA} adjA$.

    Cramer's Rule

    • Let A be an $n \times n$ invertible matrix, and let b be a column vector with $n$ components. Let $A_i$ be the matrix obtained by replacing the $i^{th}$ column of $A$ with $b$.
    • $x_i = \frac{det(A_i)}{det(A)} ; i = 1,2,…, n$.

    Properties of Determinants

    • A matrix and its transpose have equal determinants. $|A| = |A^T|$.
    • If a row or column of a matrix is zero, then the value of the determinant is 0.
    • If a row of A is multiplied by a scalar $t$, then the determinant of the modified matrix is $t, det,A$.
    • If two rows of a matrix are exchanged (swapped), the determinant changes sign.
    • If a multiple of one row is subtracted from another row, the value of the determinant remains unchanged.
    • When two rows of a matrix are equal, the determinant is zero.
    • det(AB)=(det A)(det B)
