Show that in the determinant of order 3 × 3
i) the sum of the product of elements of any row ( or column ) with their corresponding cofactors is the value of the determinant
ii) the sum of the product of elements of any row ( or column ) with the cofactor of the corresponding elements of any other row ( or column ) is zero
Answers
i.) In the above attachment..
ii.) it will be zero
multiplying a row by the cofactors of any other row will mean that the row itself is duplicated on the determinant being evaluated. It is like calculating a determinant with two equal rows. And we know that a determinant with elementry row operations is the same determinant. So a determinant with two identical rows will be a determinant with a row replaced by different of those rows. Thus it will be zero.
