8 Definition If row i and column j of an n n matrix A are deleted, the remaining entries collapse to form an (n 1) (n 1) matrix The determinant of this submatrix is called the ij-th minor of A, denoted M ij If the minor M ij is multiplied by ( 1) i+j (this is +1 if i and j are both even or both odd, and is 1 if one of i and j is even and the other odd), then we obtain the i, j-cofactor, C ij = ( 1) i+j M ij Then the determinant of A is defined to be the cofactor expansion along the first row: det A = a 11 C 11 + a 1 C a 1n C 1n M100 Vector Geometry and Linear Algebra 8

9 5 1 Example: If A = 40 5, then the minors of the first row are 4 0 M 11 = 0 =, M 1 = 0 4 = 8, M 1 = = 1 And then the cofactors are C 11 = ( 1) M 11 = +, C 1 = ( 1) M 1 = 8, C 1 = ( 1) 4 M 1 = 1 Finally, the determinant of A is det(a) = a 11 C 11 + a 1 C 1 + a 1 C 1 = ()() + ( 5)(8) + (1)( 1) = = 40 M100 Vector Geometry and Linear Algebra 9

10 Theorem The determinant can also be calculated by expansion along the i-th row: or the j-th column: det A = a i1 C i1 + a i C i + + a in C in det A = a 1j C 1j + a j C j + + a nj C nj Example: Again let A = , but expand along the second row: 4 0 det(a) = a 1 C 1 + a C + a C = (0)( 1) ()(+1) ( )( 1) = 0 + (4 4) + (0 + 0) = 40 M100 Vector Geometry and Linear Algebra 10

11 The pattern of + and signs given by ( 1) i+j produces this checkerboard pattern: ? ? + 5 Note that the diagonal entries are all + M100 Vector Geometry and Linear Algebra 11

12 Entries and cofactors from different rows Suppose we take entries from one row of a matrix, and cofactors from a different row: a i1 C j1 + a i C j + a i C j + + a in C jn Then the result is always 0 For example, if A = a b c 4d e f5, then g h i a 11 C 1 + a 1 C + a 1 C = a b h c i + b a g c i c a g b h = a(bi ch) + b(ai cg) c(ah bg) = abi + ach + bai bcg cah + cbg = 0 M100 Vector Geometry and Linear Algebra 1

13 So we have: Theorem For any n n matrix A, a i1 C j1 + a i C j + a i C j + a in C jn = ( det A if i = j, 0 if i j We can interpret this as a certain matrix product M100 Vector Geometry and Linear Algebra 1

14 Cofactor matrix and adjoint matrix If we calculate all the cofactors of A and put them into a matrix, we get the cofactor matrix: C 11 C 1 C 1 C 1n C 1 C C C n cof(a) = C 1 C C C n 4 5 C n1 C n C n C nn and the transpose of the cofactor matrix is the adjoint matrix: C 11 C 1 C 1 C n1 C 1 C C C n adj(a) = (cof(a)) T = C 1 C C C n 4 5 C 1n C n C n C nn M100 Vector Geometry and Linear Algebra 14

15 Let B = adj(a) = cof(a) T, so that b ij = C ji Then ij-th entry of AB = a i1 b 1j + a i b j + a i b j + + a in b nj = a i1 C j1 + a i C j + a i C j + + a in C jn ( ) det A if i = j, = = ij-th entry of (det A) I n 0 if i j M100 Vector Geometry and Linear Algebra 15

16 The adjoint formula for A 1 Theorem Let A be an n n matrix 1 A adj(a) = adj(a) A = (det A)I n A is invertible if and only if det A 0 If det A 0, then A 1 = 1 det A adj(a) M100 Vector Geometry and Linear Algebra 1

17 Example Let A = Then the cofactors are: 0 1 C 1,1 = = C 1, = = 0 C 1, = = 0 C,1 = = 1 C, = = C, = = 1 C,1 = = C, = = 1 C, = = So the cofactor matrix is cof(a) = C 1,1 C 1, C 1, 4C,1 C, C, 5 = C,1 C, C, M100 Vector Geometry and Linear Algebra 1

18 And the adjoint is the transpose: adj(a) = (cof(a)) T = Multiplying A by its adjoint gives: A adj(a) = = = I 0 0 The determinant of A is det A =, so A 1 = 1 1 1/ / adj(a) = 40 / 1/5 0 1/ / Exercise: Check this by the [A I] method M100 Vector Geometry and Linear Algebra 18
