Guided Proof Prove Property 2 of Theorem 3.3: When B is obtained from A by adding a multiple of a row of A to another row of A, detB = detA. Getting Started: To prove that the determinant of B is equal to the determinant of A, you need to show that their respective cofactor expansions are equal. i Begin by letting B be the matrix obtained by adding c times the jth row of A to the ith row of A. ii Find the determinant of B by expanding in this ith row. iii Distribute and then group the terms containing a coefficient of c and those not containing a coefficient of c. iv Show that the sum of the terms not containing a coefficient of c is the determinant of A, and the sum of the terms containing a coefficient of c is equal to 0.
Guided Proof Prove that the determinant of an invertible matrix A is equal to 1 when all of the entries of A and A1 is integers. Getting Started: Denote det(A) as x and det(A1) as y. Note that x and y are real numbers. To prove that det(A) is equal to 1, you must show that both x and y are integers such that their product xy is equal to 1. (i) Use the property for the determinant of a matrix product to show that xy=1. (ii) Use the definition of a determinant and the fact that the entries of A and A1 are integers to show that both x=det(A) and y=det(A1) are integers. (iii) Conclude that x=det(A) must be either 1 or 1 because these are the only integer solutions to the equation xy=1
