Question

Without expanding the determinants, show that `|(l, "m", "n"),("e", "d", "f"),("u", "v", "w")| = |("n", "f", "w"),(l, "e", "u"),("m", "d", "v")|`

Solution

L.H.S. = `|(l, "m", "n"),("e", "d", "f"),("u", "v", "w")|`

Interchanging rows and columns, we get

L.H.S. = `|(l, "e", "u"),("m", "d", "v"),("n", "f", "w")|`

Applying R2 ↔ R3, we get

L.H.S. = `|(l, "e", "u"),("m", "f", "w"),("m", "d", "v")|`

Applying R1 ↔ R2, we get

L.H.S. = `|("n", "f", "w"),(l, "e", "u"),("m", "d", "v")|`

= R.H.S.
