5 Chapter 1 Linear Equations and Matrices 1.2 Matrices Definition An m n matrix A is a rectangular array of m n real numbers arranged in m horizontal rows and n vertical columns. That is, a 11 a a 1j... a 1n a 21 a a 2j... a 2n A = a i1 a i2... a ij... a in a m1 a m2... a mj... a mn In the matrix A above, we have: a 11, a 12,..., a mn are called elements (or entries) of the matrix. The entry a ij lies in the intersection of row i and column j. The size (or order) of A is m by n, written as m n. The matrix is called a square matrix if m = n. We write M m n for the class of all real matrices of size m n. If a matrix A is of size 1 n, then we say that A is a vector of size (length) n and we write A R n. In addition, if A is of size n 1, we say that A R n. Example A matrix A M 2 3 and another matrix B M 3 3. A = B =
6 2 Chapter 1. Linear Equations and Matrices An m n matrix can be represented by the following ways: A = (a ij ) for 1 i m and 1 j n, row 1 A = row 2, where row i = [a i1 a i2... a in ], for 1 i m, or. row m A = [col 1 col 2... col n], where col j = a 1j a 2j. a mj for 1 j n. Example List all of the entries of the matrix A = (a ij ) R 3, for 1 i 3 and 1 j 3, where i + j, if i > j a ij = 0, if i = j i j, if i < j We list the entries of A in the following way: a 11 a 12 a A = a 21 a 22 a 23 = a 31 a 32 a Special types of matrices: 1. The zero matrix, say O, is an m n matrix whose entries are all equal to O =
7 1.2. Matrices 3 2. The diagonal matrix, D, is a square matrix in R n, where D = (d ij ) so that d ij = 0 for all i j. d 11 0 D =... 0 d nn 3. The scalar matrix is a diagonal matrix S whose all diagonal entries are equal to some a scalar c. c 0 S =... 0 c 4. The identity matrix (or unit matrix) is a scalar matrix I n whose all diagonal entries are equal to I n = The lower triangular matrix, L, is a square matrix in R n, where L = (l ij ) so that l ij = 0 for all i < j. l 11 0 L =.... l n1... l nn 6. The upper triangular matrix, U, is a square matrix in R n, where U = (u ij ) so that u ij = 0 for all i > j. u u 1n U = u nn Remark Two m n matrices A = (a ij ) and B = (b ij ) are said to be equal if a ij = b ij for all 1 i m and 1 j n. Example Find the values of a, b, c, and d if a + b c d c + d = 1 2. a b 2 1
8 4 Chapter 1. Linear Equations and Matrices Since the two matrices are equal. Then a + b = 1 a b = 1 c + d = 2 c d = 2 + = 2a = 2 = a = 1 and hence b = 0. + = 2c = 0 = c = 0 and hence d = Matrix Operation: Matrix transpose Definition If A = (a ij ) is an m n matrix, then the n m matrix A T 1 i m, is called the transpose of A. = (a ji ), where 1 j n and Example If A = a b c d e f 2 3 a, then A T = b c d e f 3 2. Example ( ) Q#6 pg. 20 If A is an n n lower triangular matrix, then A T is an n n upper triangular matrix. Since A is a lower triangular, then a ij = 0 for all i < j. Therefore, the transpose of A, A T = (a ji ) has entries a ji = 0 if j > i and thus it is an upper triangular. Matrix addition and substraction To add two m n matrices A = (a ij ) and B = (b ij ), we must have the size(a) = size(b). Then, A ± B = C, where C = (c ij ) with c ij = a ij ± b ij, for all 1 i m and 1 j n.
9 1.2. Matrices 5 Example If possible, find A + B and A T B, where 2 1 A = , and B = Clearly, A+B is not possible as they have different sizes. On the other hand, size(a T ) = size(b), and A T B = = Example ( ) Q#5 pg.20 Show that the sum and the difference of two lower triangular matrices is a lower triangular matrix. Let A = (a ij ) and B = (b ij ) be two n n matrices so that both are lower triangular matrices. Thus, a ij = 0 and b ij = 0 for all i < j. If (c ij ) = C = A ± B with c ij = a ij ± b ij, then c ij = 0 for all i < j. Therefore, C is again a lower triangular matrix. Remark The sum and the difference of two upper triangular matrices is an upper triangular matrix. Scalar multiplication If A = (a ij ) is an m n matrix and c is a real number, then c A = (c a ij ) for all 1 i m and 1 j n.

Linear Equations and Matrices 1.3 Dot Product and Matrix Multiplication Definition The dot (inner) product of the n-vectors x = (x 1 x 2 x n ) and y = (y 1 y 2 y n ) is defined by x y = x 1 y 1 + x 2 y x n y n = n x i y i. (1.3.1) i=1 An n-vector x = (x 1 x 2 x n ) can be written as x = (x 1, x 2,, x n ). Example Find x y if x = (1, 0, 2, 1) and y = (3, 5, 1, 4). Clearly, x y = ( 2) + ( 4) = 3. Definition Let A = (a ij ) be an m p matrix and B = (b ij ) be a p n matrix. Then, the product of A and B, (AB), is the m n matrix C = (c ij ) = row i (A) col j (B) where p c ij = a i1 b 1j + a i2 b 2j + + a ip b pj = a ik b kj, for 1 i m and 1 j n. k=1 Note that the entry (i, j) of the product AB equals to the dot product of row i (A) by the col j (B). Remark To get the product AB, we must have # of columns in A = # of rows in B.
11 1.3. Dot Product and Matrix Multiplication 7 Example If A = a 11 a 12 a 13 a 21 a 22 a b 11 b 12, and B = b 21 b 22 b 31 b , then AB = a 11b 11 + a 12 b 21 + a 13 b 31 a 11 b 12 + a 12 b 22 + a 13 b 32 a 21 b 11 + a 22 b 21 + a 23 b 31 a 21 b 12 + a 22 b 22 + a 23 b Example Find AB, AB T, and A T B if possible, where A = 1 0 2, and B = Clearly, AB is not possible to compute since # columns in A is not the same as # rows of B. AB T : excercise. 1 1 A T B = = = Remark In general, AB BA. For instance, consider A = 1 0 and B = 0 0. Check it yourself!! It is always true that AB = BA if A = I n or that A = B.
12 8 Chapter 1. Linear Equations and Matrices Example Let A = [ ] Find all values of c so that c A A T = 15. [ ] Note that ca A T = c = 5c. Therefore, 5c = 15 and hence c = 3. 0 Example Let A = 4 2 1, and B = Compute the (3, 2)-entry of AB The (3, 2)-entry = row 3 (A) col 2 (B) = [0 1 2] [4 1 2] = 1 4 = 5. Definition Let A be an m n matrix and x R n (be an n-vector), then a 11 a 12 a 1n x 1 a 11 x 1 + a 12 x a 1n x n Ax = a 21 a 22 a 2n x 2 = a 21 x 1 + a 22 x a 2n x n a m1 a m2 a mn x n a m1 x 1 + a m2 x a mn x n row 1 (A) x a 11 a 12 a 1n = row 2 (A) x = x 1 a 21 + x 2 a x n a 2n.... row m (A) x a m1 a m2 = x 1 col 1 (A) + x 2 col 2 (A) + + x n col n (A). a mn That is, Ax is a linear combination of columns of A and the entries of x are the coefficients.

Dot Product and Matrix Multiplication 9 Example Write the following product as a linear combination of the columns of the first matrix = ( 2) Example ( ) Q#9 pg.38 If A is an m p matrix and B is a p n matrix, then (a) Show that col j (AB) = A col j (B). (b) Show that row i (AB) = ( row i (A) ) B. (a) Let C = AB. Clearly for 1 j n, c 1j row 1 (A) col j (B) row 1 (A) col j (AB) = col j (C) = c 2j = row 2 (A) col j (B) = row 2 (A) col j (B) = A col j (B).... c mj row m (A) col j (B) row m (A) (b) Let C = AB. Clearly for 1 i m, i1 c i2 row i (AB) = row i (C) = [c ] c in [ ] = row i (A) col 1 (B) row i (A) col 2 (B) row i (A) col n (B) = row i (A) [ col 1 (B) col 2 (B) ] col n (B) = ( row i (A) ) B. TRUE or FALSE: If a matrix B has a column of zeros, then the product AB has a column of zeros as well. reason: Assume that column j of B is a column of zero. Then, col j (AB) = A col j (B) = 0. (TRUE).

Dot Product and Matrix Multiplication 11 Matrix Form of Linear System of Equations: Given a linear system of equation on n variables as in (1.3.2) a 11 x 1 + a 12 x 2 + a 13 x a 1n x n = b 1 a 21 x 1 + a 22 x 2 + a 23 x a 2n x n = b 2 a m1 x 1 + a m2 x 2 + a m3 x a mn x n = b m (1.3.2) we transform this system into the matrix form as in (1.3.3) a 11 a 12 a 1n a 21. a 22.. a 2n. a m1 a m2 a mn x 1 x 2. x n = b 1 b 2. b m (1.3.3) We say that the form of (1.3.3) is the matrix form A x = B, where x is called the vector of unknowns. Moreover, we define the augmented form as [ A B ]. (1.3.4) Example Write the following system of linear equations in the matrix form and in the augmented form. 2x z + 3w = 1 x + 5y = 1 x + y + z = 0 The matrix form is: x y z w = while the augmented form is given by

17 1.4. Properties of Matrix Operations Properties of Matrix Operations In what follows, let A, B, and C be matrices of appropriate sizes, and let r, s R Properties of matrix-scalar multiplication 1. r (s A) = (rs) A, 2. (r + s) A = r A + s A, 3. r (A + B) = r A + r B, 4. A(r B) = (r A)B = r (AB). Example ( ) Q#32 pg.51 If the m n linear system A x = B has more than one solution, then it has infinitely many solutions. Let y and z be two solutions to the system A x = B. Then, for r, s R, we have A y = B r A y = r B A(r y) = r B. (1.4.1) Similarly, we have A(s z) = s B. (1.4.2) Adding up (1.4.1) and (1.4.2), we got A(r y + s z) = (r + s)b. Therefore, (r y + s z) is a solution to the system whenever, r + s = 1. The result follows.
18 14 Chapter 1. Linear Equations and Matrices TRUE or FALSE: If x 1 and x 2 are two solutions for Ax = B, then 3 2 x 1 2x 2 is also a solution. reason: Since = (FALSE) Properties of Matrix Addition 1. A + B = B + A, 2. (A + B) + C = A + (B + C), 3. there is a unique matrix O such that O + A = A + O = A, the matrix O is called the additive identity, 4. there is a unique matrix D such that A + D = D + A = O. In particular, D = A is called the additive inverse of A Properties of Matrix Multiplication 1. A(BC) = (AB)C, 2. A(B + C) = AB + AC, 3. (A + B)C = AC + BC, 4. there is a unique (identity) matrix I such that AI = IA = A. Remark Let p, q, and r be rational numbers and let A, B M m n, then 1. A p A q = A p+q, 2. (A p ) q = A pq, 3.

20 16 Chapter 1. Linear Equations and Matrices Example ( ) T #9 pg.51 Find a 2 2 matrix B O and B I2 so that AB = BA if A = Let B = a c b. Therefore, d AB = BA a + 2c c b + 2d = a d c 2a + b, 2c + d thus a = a + 2c c = 0 and b + 2d = 2a + b a = d. Let s, t R so that a = s and b = t to get B = s t. Note that s and t can not be both 0 since B O, and the case of t = 0 and 0 s s = 1 can NOT be hold since B I Symmetric and Skew-Symmetric Matrices Definition Let A M n n. A is called symmetric matrix whenever A T = A, and it is called skewsymmetric matrix whenever A T = A. For instance, A = matrix is a symmetric matrix; where B = 0 2 is a skew-symmetric 2 0 Example ( ) T #23 pg.51 Let A and B be two symetric matrices. Show that (a) A + B is symmetric. (b) AB is symmetric ( ) if and only if AB = BA.
21 1.4. Properties of Matrix Operations 17 Since A and B are both symmetirc, then A T = A and B T = B. (a): Clearly, (A + B) T = A T + B T = A + B. Therefore, A + B is symmetric. (b): We first prove ( ). Let AB be symmetirc. Thus AB = (AB) T = B T A T = BA which shows that AB = BA. To show the other direction ( ), assume that AB = BA. Thus, (AB) T = B T A T = BA = AB which shows that AB is symmetric. Example If A and B are skew-symmetric matrices and AB = BA, then AB is symmetric. It is given that A T = A and B T = B; thus, (AB) T = B T A T = ( B)( A) = BA = AB. Therefore, AB is symmetric. Example ( ) T #26 pg.51 Show that A T A and AA T are both symmetric matrices. It is clear that (A T A) T = A T (A T ) T = A T A which shows that A T A is symmetric. In addition, (AA T ) T = (A T ) T A T = AA T shows that AA T is also symmetric. Example ( ) T #27 pg.51 Let A Mn n. Show that (a) A T + A is symmetirc. (b) A A T is skew-symmetric. [(a)]: (A T + A) T = (A T ) T + A T = A + A T = A T + A. Therefore, A T + A is symmetric. [(b)]: (A A T ) T = A T (A T ) T = A T A = (A A T ). Therefore, A A T is skew-symmetric.
22 18 Chapter 1. Linear Equations and Matrices Example ( ) T #28 pg.51 Let A Mn n. Then A can be written as A = S + K, where S is symmetric matrix and K is skew-symmetric matrix. From Example 1.4.7, we know that A T + A is symmetric and that A A T is skew-symmetric. If S = 1 2 (AT + A) which is symmetric and K = 1 2 (A AT ) which is skew-symmetric, then S + K = 1 2 (AT + A) (A AT ) = 1 2 AT A A 1 2 AT = A.

24 20 Chapter 1. Linear Equations and Matrices 1.6 Solutions of Linear System of Equations Definition A matrix A M m n is said to be in the reduced row echelon form (r.r.e.f. for short) if it satisfies the following conditions: 1. the row of zeros (if any) should be at the bottom of A, 2. the leading (first) entry of a non-zero row should be 1, 3. the leading entry of row i + 1 should be on the right of the leading entry of row i, 4. the columns that contain a leading entry 1, all its other entries are zeros. The matrix A is said to be in the row echelon form (r.e.f.) if it does not satisfy the last Condition. Example Here aresome examples of some matrices to clarify the previous conditions: (1) A = is r.r.e.f (2) B = is not r.r.e.f. since it has a row of zeros in the second row (3) C = is not r.r.e.f. since the leading entry in the second row is not (4) D = is not r.r.e.f. since the leading entry of the third row is on the left of the leading entry of the second row. Switch 2 nd and 3 rd rows to get the r.r.e.f. form.
25 1.6. Solutions of Linear System of Equations 21 Given a matrix A M m n, we define the following elementary row operations: 1. interchanging a row by another row, 2. multiplying a row by a non-zero scalar, 3. adding a multiple of a row to another row. That is, replace a i1, a i2,, a in by a i1 + ca k1, a i2 + ca k2,, a in + ca kn, for 1 i, k n. Definition An m n matrix A is called row equivalent to an m n matrix B if B can be obtained by applying a finite sequence of elementary row operation to A. In this case, we write A B. Properties of matrix equivalence: For any m n matrices A, B, and C we have 1. A A, 2. A B B A, 3. A B and B C A C. Theorem Every non-zero m n matrix is row equivalent to a unique matrix in the r.r.e.f. Example Find the matrix B which is in r.r.e.f. and is row equivalent to A = A r 2 2r 1 r 2 r 3 3r 1 r r 2 r r 3 r r 1 2r 2 r 1 r 3 3r 2 r

Find the r.r.e.f. of augmented matrix [ A B ], 2. Solve the reduced system. Note that, the solution of the reduced system is the solution of the original one.
27 1.6. Solutions of Linear System of Equations 23 Theorem Let Ax = B and Cx = D be two linear systems of equations. If [ A B ] [ C D ], then the two system have the same solutions. (α) Solving Non-Homogenous System Ax = B with B O Example Solve the following system using the Guass-Jordan method. x + 2y + 3z = 9 2x y + z = 8 3x z = r 2 2r 1 r r 2 r r 1 2r 2 r r 3 3r 1 r r 3 r 3 r 3 3r 2 r r 3 r r 1 r 3 r r 2 r 3 r Therefore, the reduced system is: x = 2, y = 1, and z = 3. Thus, x = 1 is a unique 3 solution to the system. Remark The system Ax = B has a unique solution if and only if A I.
28 24 Chapter 1. Linear Equations and Matrices Example Solve the following system using the Guass-Jordan method. x 1 + x 2 x 3 + 4x 4 = 1 + x 2 3x 3 + 4x 4 = 0 2x 1 + 2x 2 2x 3 + 8x 4 = r 3 2r 1 r Therefor, the reduced system is: r 1 r 2 r x 1 + 2x 3 = 1 x 2 3x 3 + 4x 4 = 0 x 1 = 1 2x 3 x 2 = 3x 3 4x 4 We now fix x 3 = r and x 4 = t for r, t R to get the following infinite many solutions: x 1 = 1 2r x 2 = 3r 4t 1 2r x = 3r 4t for all r, t R. r t Remark The system Ax = B has infinity many solutions if the number of unknowns is more than the number of equations. Example Solve the following system using the Guass-Jordan method. x 1 + x 2 x 3 + 4x 4 = 1 + x 2 3x 3 + 4x 4 = 0 2x 1 + 2x 2 2x 3 + 8x 4 = 3
29 1.6. Solutions of Linear System of Equations r 3 2r 1 r At this point, it can be seen that the third row suggests that 0 = 1 which is not possible. Therefore, this system has no solution. Remark The system Ax = B has no solution whenever A a matrix with a row of zeros while [ A B ] a matrix with no rows of zeros. Example Consider the system: Find all values of a so that the system has: (a) a unique solution. (b) infinite many solutions. (c) no solution. x + y + z = 2 x + 2y z = 2 x + 2y + (a 2 5)z = a In this kind of questions, it is not necessary to get the r.r.e.f. So, we will try to focus on the last row which contains the term a as follows: r 2 r 1 r a 2 r 3 r 1 r 3 5 a 0 1 a 2 6 a 2 At this point, we have: r 3 r 2 r 3 (a) a unique solution if a a ±2 a R\{ 2, +2} a 2 4 a 2 (b) infinite solutions if { a 2 4 = 0 and a 2 = 0 } { a = ±2 and a = +2 } a = +2. (c) no solution if { a 2 4 = 0 and a 2 0 } { a = ±2 and a +2 } a = 2.

Linear Equations and Matrices (β) Solving Homogenous System Ax = O Example Solve the following system using the Guass-Jordan method. x + 2y + 3z = 0 x + 3y + 2z = 0 2x + y 2z = r 2 r 1 r r 1 2r 2 r r 3 r 3 r 3 2r 1 r 3 r 3 +3r 2 r r 1 5r 3 r r 2 +r 3 r Therefore, the reduced system is: x = 0, y = 0, and z = 0. Thus, x = 0 is a trivial solution. 0 Remark The system Ax = O has a trivial solution whenever A I. Example Solve the following system using the Guass-Jordan method. x 1 + x 2 x 3 + 4x 4 = 0 + x 2 3x 3 + 4x 4 = 0 2x 1 + 2x 2 2x 3 + 8x 4 = 0
31 1.6. Solutions of Linear System of Equations r 3 2r 1 r Therefor, the reduced system is: r 1 r 2 r x 1 + 2x 3 = 0 x 2 3x 3 + 4x 4 = 0 x 1 = 2x 3 x 2 = 3x 3 4x 4 We now fix x 3 = r and x 4 = t for r, t R to get the following non-trivial solution: x 1 = 2r x 2 = 3r 4t 2r x = 3r 4t for all r, t R. r t Remark The system Ax = O has a non-trivial solution if the number of unknowns is greater than the number of equations in the reduced system. Definition Linear systems with at least one solution are called consistent, and linear system with no solutions are called inconsistent. Example Discuss the consistency of the following homogenous system: a The system has: r 2 r 1 r 2 r 3 r 1 r 3 x + y z = 0 x y + 3z = 0 x + y + (a 2 5)z = a 2 4 0
32 28 Chapter 1. Linear Equations and Matrices (a) trivial solution when a a ±2 a R\{±2}, (b) non-trivial solution when a 2 4 = 0 a = ±2. Example Discuss the consistency of the following non-homogenous system: x + 3y + kz = 4 2x + ky + 12z = k 4 r 2 2r 1 r k 4. 2 k k k 2 The system: (a) can not have a unique solution (not equivalent to I because it is not square matrix!!), (b) has infinite solutions when k 6, (c) has no solutions when k = 6.

Since u and v are two solution of Ax = O, then Au = O and Av = O (respectively). We need to show that A(ru + sv) = O. Clearly, A(ru + sv) = A(ru) + A(sv) = r(au) + s(av) = O + O = O.

35 1.7. The Inverse of a Matrix The Inverse of a Matrix Unless otherwise specified, all matrices in this section are considered to be square matrices. Definition A matrix A M n n is called non-singular or invertable if there exists a matrix B M n n such that A B = B A = I n. In particular, B is called the inverse of A and is denoted by A 1. If there is no such B, we say that A is singular which means that A has no inverse. Example Here is an example of a 2 2 matrix along with its inverse = = 1 0 = I Theorem If a matrix has an inverse, then its inverse is unique. Proof: Assume that A M n n is a matrix with two inverses B and C, then B = B I n = B (A C) = (B A) C = I n C = C. Therefore, A has a unique inverse. Remark How to find A 1 for a given A M n n : 1. form the augmented matrix [ A I n ],

Example Find, if possible, A 1 for A = r 2 2r 1 r r 1 r 2 r Therefore, A is non-singular and A 1 = Example Find, if possible, A 1 for A = r 2 r 1 r r r 3 2r 1 r r 1 r 3 r r 2 r 3 r Therefore, A is non-singular and A 1 =
37 1.7. The Inverse of a Matrix 33 Example Find, if possible, A 1 for A = r 2 r 1 r r 3 3r 2 r r 3 5r 1 r At this point, we can conclude that this matrix is singular with no inverse because of the fact that the third row in the first part is a zero row. In particular, A 1 does not exist. Remark Let A be an n n matrix: 1. if A is row equivalent to I n, then it is non-singular, Example A = 3 0 is row equivalent to I if A is row equivalent to a matrix with a row of zeros, then it is singular. Example A = 1 1 is row equivalent to a matrix with a row of zeros. 0 0 TRUE or FALSE:
38 34 Chapter 1. Linear Equations and Matrices (FALSE). 1 0 is a non- 0 1 If A and B are singular matrices, then so is A + B. reason: A = 1 0 and B = 0 0 are two singular matrices, while A + B = singular. If A and B are non-singular matrices, then so is A + B. (FALSE). reason: A = 1 0 and B = 1 0 are two non-singular matrices, while A + B = 0 0 is a singular. Theorem If A is non-singular, then A 1 is non-singular and (A 1 ) 1 = A. Proof: If A is non-singular, then A A 1 = A 1 A = I, or A 1 A = A A 1 = I. Therefore, A 1 is non-singular and (A 1 ) 1 = A. Theorem If A and B are non-singular matrices, then A B is non-singular and (A B) 1 = B 1 A 1. Proof: Since both A and B are non-singular, then both A 1 and B 1 exist. Thus A B (B 1 A 1 ) = A (B B 1 ) A 1 = A I A 1 = A A 1 = I. A B (B 1 A 1 ) = A (B B 1 ) A 1 = A I A 1 = A A 1 = I. Thus, A B is non-singular and (A B) 1 = B 1 A 1. Theorem If A is non-singular, then A T is non-singular and (A T ) 1 = (A 1 ) T. Proof: A is non-singular, and thus A A 1 = I = A 1 A. Taking the transpose for the whole thing, we get

Then the homogenous system Ax = O has a trivial solution since A 1 A x = A 1 O x = O Remark Assume that A is a singular n n matrix. Then the homogenous system Ax = O has a non-trivial solution.

47 Chapter 2 Determinants 2.1 Determinants Definition Let S = {1, 2,, n} be a set of integers from 1 to n. A rearrangement of j 1, j 2,, j n of elements of S is called permutation of S. Example For S = {1, 2}, we have 2 permutations: 1 2, and 2 1. While, for S = {1, 2, 3}, we have the following 6 permutations: 1 2 3, 1 3 2, 2 1 3, 2 3 1, 3 1 2, and In general, for S = {1, 2,, n}, we have n! = n(n 1)(n 2) permutations. Definition A permutation j 1 j 2 j n of the set S = {1, 2,, n} is said to have an inversion if a larger integer j r preceedes a smaller one j s for r, s S. A permutation is called even with a positive + sign or odd with a negative sign according to whether the total number of inversions in it is even or odd, respectively. 43
48 44 Chapter 2. Determinants Example If S = {1, 2, 3}, then permutation #inversions even-odd sign inversions even odd odd even even odd TRUE or FALSE: The permutation has a positive sign. (FALSE). reason: The number of inversions is 5 which are 5 2, 5 1, 5 3, 5 4, and 2 1. So, this permutation has an odd number of inversions and a negative sign. Definition Let A = (a ij ) M n n. Then, the determinant of A, denoted by det(a) or A, is det(a) = (±)a 1j1 a 2j2 a 3j3 a njn where the summation ranges over all permutations j 1 j 2 j n of the set S = {1, 2,, n}. The sign is taken as + or according to the sign of the permutation. Example Compute the determinant of A = a 11 a 12. a 21 a 22 Using the definition, we have det(a) = (±)a 1j1 a 2j2, where j 1 j 2 is a permutation of S = {1, 2}. Thus, j 1 j 2 {1 2, 2 1} and det(a) = + a 11 a 22 a 12 a 21.
49 2.1. Determinants 45 Example a 11 a 12 a 13 Compute the determinant of A = a 21 a 22 a 23. a 31 a 32 a 33 Using the definition, we have det(a) = (±)a 1j1 a 2j2 a 3j3, where j 1 j 2 j 3 is a permutation of S = {1, 2, 3}. Thus, j 1 j 2 j 3 {1 2 3, 1 3 2, 2 1 3, 2 3 1, 3 1 2, 3 2 1} and det(a) = + a 11 a 22 a 33 a 11 a 23 a 32 a 12 a 21 a 33 + a 12 a 23 a 31 + a 13 a 21 a 32 a 13 a 22 a 31. Moreover, this formula can be found by taking the sum of the positive product of the diagonal entries and the negative product of the anti-diagonal entries in the following matrix: a 11 a 12 a 13 a 11 a 12 a 21 a 22 a 23 a 21 a 22 a 31 a 32 a 33 a 31 a 32 Example Find det(a) for A = A = (2)(5) (1)(3) = 10 3 = 7.
50 46 Chapter 2. Determinants Example Find det(a) for A = We calculate the det(a) using the following diagram: In particular, A = (2)(3)(2) + (0)(4)(5) + (1)( 2)(1) (1)(3)(2) (2)(4)(1) (0)( 2)(2) = ( 2) = 13. Properties of Determinants: 1. A = A T. 2. If B is obtained from A by interchanging two rows (or two columns), then B = A. 3. If A has two equal rows (or columns), then A = If A has a row (or a column) of zeros, then A = If B is obtained from A by adding a multiple of a row (or a column) to another row (or column, respectively), then A = B. 6. If B is obtained from A by multiplying a row (or a column) by a scalar c, then B = c A.
51 2.1. Determinants 47 Remark In general, for A M n n, we have c A = c n A. 7. The determinant of lower triangular, upper triangular, diagonal, and scalar matrices can be computed as follows. Theorem The determinant of lower triangular, upper triangular, diagonal, and scalar matrices equal the product of elements of the diagonal. 8. For any A, B M n n, we have A B = A B. 9. Theorem If A is an n n non-singular matrix, then A 0 and A 1 = 1. This statement A suggests that if A = 0, then A is singular matrix. Proof: Since A is non-singular, A 1 exists, then AA 1 = I n (take the determinant for both sides) A A 1 = In A A 1 = 1. Thus, A 0 and A 1 = 1 A. Example Let A, B M n n. Show that, if A B = I n, then B A = I n.
52 48 Chapter 2. Determinants If A B = I n, then A 0 and B 0. A 1 A B = A 1 I n I n B = A 1 B A = A 1 A = I n Thus, A B = I n = B A. Example ( ) T #16 pg.195 Show that if A Mn n is skew-symmetric matrix and n is odd, then A = 0. Since A is skew-symmetric, then A T = A and taking the determinant for both sides A T = A A T = ( 1) n, A where n is odd and ( 1) n = 1. A = A T = A. Therefore, A = A which means that A = 0. TRUE or FALSE: If A, B M n n with A = B, then A = B. reason: I 2 I 2 while I2 = 1 and I2 = ( 1) 2 I2 = 1. (FALSE). Example ( ) T #5 pg.194 If A B = 0, then either A = 0 or B = 0. Clearly, A B = A B = 0. Then, A = 0 or B = 0.
53 2.1. Determinants 49 Example ( ) T #8 pg.194 If A B = In, then A 0 and B 0. A B = I n = A B = 1 which implies that zero. A B = 1 and both A and B can not be Example ( ) T #9(b) pg.194 Show that if A 1 = A T, then A = 1 or A = 1. Since A 1 = A T, we have A 1 = A T 1 A = A A 2 = 1 A = ±1. Example ( ) T #10 pg.194 Show that if A is non-singular and A 2 = A, then A = 1. Since A is non-singular, A 1 exists and A 2 = A A = I n A = In A = 1. Example ( ) T #10 pg.210 Show that for any A, B, C Mn n, if A B = A C and A 0, then B = C. Since A 0, then A 1 exists and thus AB = AC A 1 AB = A 1 AC B = C.

We use Theorem to get adj(a) A = A adj(a) = A I n ( ) 1 adj(a) A A = 1 A A ( adj(a) ) = I n which shows that adj(a) is non-singular and Now, if we replace A by A 1 in Theorem 2.2.2, we get ( ) 1 1 adj(a) = A. (2.2.1) A adj(a 1 ) A 1 = A 1 adj(a 1 ) = A 1 In.
64 60 Chapter 2. Determinants Thus, adj(a 1 ) A 1 = adj(a 1 ) A 1 A = adj(a 1 ) = 1 A I n 1 A I n A 1 A A (2.2.2) Adding Equation and Equation 2.2.2, we get ( adj(a) ) 1 = 1 A A = adj(a 1 ). Example Let A be a non-singular 4 4 matrix with A 1 = 2. Find (a) adj(a), and (b) 1 2 AT adj(a 1 ). We have A = 1 2 since A 1 = 2. Then (a): adj(a) = A 4 1 = A 3 ( ) 3 = 1 2 = 1. 8 (b): 1 2 AT adj(a 1 ) = ( 1 2 ) 4 A T adj(a 1 ) = A A 1 3 = ( 2)3 = 1 4.
65 2.2. Cofactor Expansion and Applications 61 Example Let A be a 4 4 matrix with adj(a) = 8. Find 2A adj(2a). By Theorem 2.2.2, we have (2A) adj(2a) = adj(2a) (2A) = 2A I 4. Since adj(a) = 8, we have A = 2. Thus, 2A adj(2a) = 2A I 4 = (2) 4 A I4 = (16) ( 2) I 4 = 32 I 4.
66 62 Chapter 2. Determinants Exercise Let adj(a) = 2 8. Find A Let A be a nonsingular n n matrix. (a) Show that adj(a) is nonsingular. (b) Prove that adj(a 1 ) = 1 A. det (A) Let A = Compute the cofactors A 11, A 12, and A 13, and show that 5A A A 13 = Let A = (a) Compute det (A) using a cofactor expansion along row 2. (b) Find A adj(a). (c) Find det (2A 1 adj(a)) Let A = (a) Find A using a cofactor expansion along row 2. (b) Find A adj(a). (c) Find 2A 1 adj(a).
67 2.2. Cofactor Expansion and Applications 63 Revision of Chapter 2... Have Fun :-) CHAPTER 2 REVISION 1. Find all 3 3 matrices A, if any, such that adj(a) = Let A and B be two 4 4 nonsingular matrices such that det (2A 1 B 2 ) = 32 and det (B 1 adj(a)) = 4. Find A and B. 3. Let A be a nonsingular n n matrix.
