1 Evaluating Determinants by Row Reduction MATH 322, Linear Algebra I J. Robert Buchanan Department of Mathematics Spring 2015
2 Objectives Reduce a matrix to row echelon form and evaluate its determinant. Row reduction requires fewer operations than cofactor expansion and is therefore more efficient for large matrices.
3 Basic Theorems (1 of 2) Theorem Let A be a square matrix, if A has a row or column of zeros, then det(a) = 0.
4 Basic Theorems (1 of 2) Theorem Let A be a square matrix, if A has a row or column of zeros, then det(a) = 0. Proof. Suppose the ith row contains only zeros and perform cofactor expansion along the ith row. det(a) = (0)C i1 + (0)C i2 + + (0)C in = 0
5 Basic Theorems (2 of 2) Theorem Let A be a square matrix, then det(a) = det(a T ).
6 Basic Theorems (2 of 2) Theorem Let A be a square matrix, then det(a) = det(a T ). Proof. The ith row of A is the ith column of A T. Therefore cofactor expansion along the ith row of A is the same as cofactor expansion along the i column of A T.
7 Basic Theorems (2 of 2) Theorem Let A be a square matrix, then det(a) = det(a T ). Proof. The ith row of A is the ith column of A T. Therefore cofactor expansion along the ith row of A is the same as cofactor expansion along the i column of A T. Remark: rows vs. columns are irrelevant when talking about determinants.
8 Elementary Row Operations Questions: what effect do elementary row operations have on the calculation of the determinant?
9 Elementary Row Operations Questions: what effect do elementary row operations have on the calculation of the determinant? Theorem Let A be an n n matrix. 1. If B is the matrix that results when a single row or column of A is multiplied by a scalar k, then det(b) = k det(a). 2. If B is the matrix that results when two rows or columns of A are interchanged, then det(b) = det(a). 3. If B is the matrix that results when a multiple of one row of A is added to another row or when a multiple of one column is added to another column, then det(b) = det(a).

11 Proof (1) Suppose matrix B is the same as matrix A except that the ith row of B is the ith row of A multiplied by k.
12 Proof (1) Suppose matrix B is the same as matrix A except that the ith row of B is the ith row of A multiplied by k. Form the cofactor expansion of det(b) along the ith row. det(b) = ka i1 C i1 + ka i2 C i2 + + ka in C in = k(a i1 C i1 + a i2 C i2 + + a in C in )
13 Proof (1) Suppose matrix B is the same as matrix A except that the ith row of B is the ith row of A multiplied by k. Form the cofactor expansion of det(b) along the ith row. det(b) = ka i1 C i1 + ka i2 C i2 + + ka in C in = k(a i1 C i1 + a i2 C i2 + + a in C in ) = k det(a) since the cofactors C ij are independent of the entries in the i row.

19 Elementary Matrices Recall: an elementary matrix results from applying a single elementary row operation to the identity matrix. Theorem Let E be an n n elementary matrix. 1. If E is the matrix that results from multiplying a row of I n by a scalar k, then det(e) = k. 2. If E is the matrix that results when two rows I n are interchanged, then det(e) = If E is the matrix that results when a multiple of one row of I n is added to another row, then det(e) = 1.

25 Proportional Rows of Columns Theorem If A is an n n matrix with two proportional rows or columns, then det(a) = 0.
26 Proportional Rows of Columns Theorem If A is an n n matrix with two proportional rows or columns, then det(a) = 0. Proof. If the ith row is k times jth row, then multiply the jth row j by k and add to the ith row. This elementary row operation does not change the determinant of A. Now A has a row of zeros and thus det(a) = 0.
