Question
Let A be an n x n matrix and let C be the matrix of cofactors of A. Let b be a vector of
length n. Consider the formula
f(b) = b₁C₁1 + b₂C21 +...+bnCn1.
Which of the following statements is true?
f(b) is the value of the determinant of the matrix found by replacing the 1st
column of A with the vector b.
f(b) is the value of the determinant of the matrix found by replacing the 1st row of
A with the vector b.
f(b) = 0
f(b) = 0 necessarily if |A| = 0
