Question -

Using Cofactors of elements of second row,evaluate.



Answer -

The given determinant is.

We have:

M21┬а=┬а

тИ┤A21┬а= cofactor of┬аa21┬а=(тИТ1)2+1┬аM21┬а= 7

M22┬а=┬а

тИ┤A22┬а= cofactor of┬аa22┬а=(тИТ1)2+2┬аM22┬а= 7

M23┬а=

тИ┤A23┬а= cofactor of┬аa23┬а=(тИТ1)2+3┬аM23┬а= тИТ7

We know that ╬Ф is equal to the sum of theproduct of the elements of the second row with their corresponding cofactors.

тИ┤╬Ф =┬аa21A21┬а+┬аa22A22┬а+┬аa23A23┬а=2(7) + 0(7) + 1(тИТ7) = 14 тИТ 7 = 7
