Example 12.5. Suppose that A is a 4 x 4 matrix and suppose that det A = 11. If B is
obtained from A by interchanging rows 2 and 4, what is det B?
Solution. Interchanging (or swapping) rows changes the sign of the determinant. Therefore,
det B = —11
Example 12.6. Suppose that A is a 4 x 4 matrix and suppose that det A = 11. Let
a,, az, az, ay denote the rows of A. If B is obtained from A by replacing row az by 3a; + a3,

a,, &, az, ay denote the rows of A. If B is obtained from A by replacing row az by 3a; + a3,
what is det B?
Solution. This is a Type 3 elementary row operation, which preserves the value of the de-
terminant. Therefore,
det B = 11.

Solution. This is not quite a Type 3 elementary row operation because ag is multiplied by

TRUE FALSE
Solution: This is true. The matrix B results from the matrix A by swapping one column
and then multiplying column 2 by —1. As det(A) = det(47) and a row swap changes the
determinant by a factor of —1, so does a column swap. The same is true for multiplying a
column by —1. So in total det(A) = (—1)(—1) det(B) = det(B).

Problem 6. Let A be an 4 by 4 matrix with entries a;;. In the expression of the
determinant of A what is the sign of the product a13a22a34@41 ?
Solution. The corresponding permutation is (3,2,4,1). One needs two switches to
get (1,2,3,4) from it: switch the first and the fourth numbers, then switch the third and
the fourth numbers. The number of switches is even, so the sign is +.

Properties of determinant
* Determinant evaluated across any row or column is same.
+ If all the elements of a row (or column) are zeros, then the value of
the determinant is zero
+ Determinant of transpose is same as original matrix.
Let A and B be two matrix, then det(AB) = det(A)*det(B).
If A be a matrix then, 1471 = (Apr.
Determinant of Inverse of matrix can be defined as ¡A I ‘A
Determinant of diagonal matrix, triangular matrix (upper triangular or lower
triangular matrix) is product of element of the principle diagonal
Gr
CE :
Since determinant of transpose is same as original matrix we can
column operations too.
If A is singular then det A = 0. If A is invertible then det A AH 0.
The determinant of AB is det A times det B: |AB| = | A| |B|-
T F Aand B = 2Aare n x n matrices. If det(A) = 4, then det(B) = 8.
T F Aand B = 2Aare n x n matrices. If det(A) = 4, then det(B) = 8.
False: Matrix B is obtained by scaling each row of A by two. Therefore, the deter-
minant doubles at each of these scalings: det(B) = 2" det(A) = 4-2".

2. Circle the letters which correspond to the statements which are true for
all square 5 x 5 matrices A, B,C.
A. det (—A) = -det (A).
B. det (34) = 3det (A).
C. det (A + B) = det (A) + det (B).
D. det (ABC) = det (A) det (B) det (C).
E. Determinant of A does not change if the rows A are rearranged in the
opposite order.
Ans.: A,D,E.
Solution. A. True. Multiplying A on —1 is the same as multiplying each row
on —1, so determinant is multiplied on (-1)?
B. No. The correct formula is det (3A)
C. No. For example, it is easy to write J, whose determinant is 1, as
a sum of two diagonal matrices with zeros and ones on the main diagonal;
their determinants are 0.
D. True. In general det (AB) = det (A)det (B), this is a theorem which
was proved in class. Applying it twice we obtain the formula in D.
E, True. This depends on the sign of the permutation (n,n — 1.
For n = 5 this permutation has 2 transpositions so it is even.

To find the matrix Aj, we remove the column of the coefficient matrix A which holds the
