Let A be a 3 × 3 matrix. Let A(i, j) denote the 2 × 2 submatrix obtained
from A by deleting the i-th row and j-th column.
The cofactor of aij is
Cij = (−1)(i+j) det A(i, j).

Definition (Cofactors of an n × n Matrix)

Let A be a n × n matrix. Let A(i, j) denote the (n − 1) × (n − 1)
submatrix obtained from A by deleting the i-th row and j-th column.
The cofactor of aij is

Definition (Determinant of an n × n Matrix)

Theorem
The determinant of an n × n matrix A may be obtained by a cofactor
expansion along any row or any column.
In particular, the expansion of the determinant along the i-th row of A is
det A = ai1 Ci1 + ai2 Ci2 + · · · + ain Cin .
The expansion of the determinant along the j-th column of A is
det A = a1j C1j + a2j C2j + · · · + anj Cnj .

Suppose A is an n × n matrix.
Theorem
If one row (or column) of A contains only zeros, then det A = 0.
Theorem
If A is an upper- or lower-triangular matrix, then the determinant of A is
the product of the diagonal entries of A. That is,
det A = a11 a22 · · · ann .
Theorem

Elementary Row Operations and
the Determinant (§5.2)
Let A and B be two n × n matrices.
Theorem
Suppose B is obtained from A by multiplying the i-th row of A by the real
number r . Then det B = r det A.
Theorem
Suppose that B is obtained from A by swapping two rows. Then
det B = − det A.
Corollary
If two rows of A are equal, then det A = 0.
Theorem
Suppose that B is obtained from A by adding r times the i-th row of A to
the k-th row. Then det B = det A.

The Determinant (§5.2)
Theorem
If that A is an n × n matrix, then the following are equivalent:
1 det A 6= 0
2 rank(A) = n
3 A is invertible
Theorem
If A and B are n × n matrices, then det(AB) = (det A)(det B).

Definition (Cofactor Matrix)

Let A be an n × n matrix. We define the cofactor matrix of A, denoted
cof A, by
(cof A)ij = Cij .
