Basic Properties of det: M<sub>nxn</sub> |
Basic Properties of det: M<sub>nxn</sub>→F: 0 det(I) = 1 |
||
1. <math>det(E'_{i,j\,\!}A) = -det(A) ; |E'_{i,j\,\!}|= -1. [Note: det(EA) = |E||A|]</math> |
|||
* Also, note that exchanging two rows flips the sign. |
|||
2. <math>det(E^2_{i,c\,\!}A) = det(A) ; |(E^2_{i,j,c\,\!}| = 1</math> |
|||
* These are "enough"! |
|||
3. <math>det((E_{i,j,c\,\!}A) = det(A) ; |(E^3_{i,j,c\,\!}| = 1 |
|||
* Adding a multiple of one row to another does not change the determinant. |
|||
The determinant of any matrix can be calculated using the properties above.</math> |
