Question 6 Let A = [𝑎𝑖𝑗] be a square matrix of order 3 × 3 and |A|= −7. Find the value of 𝑎11 𝐴21 + 𝑎12 𝐴22 + 𝑎13 𝐴23 where 𝐴𝑖𝑗 is the cofactor of element 𝑎𝑖j
We know that
If elements of a row (or column) are multiplied with cofactors of any other row (or column), then their sum is zero
Thus,
𝑎11 𝐴21 + 𝑎12 𝐴22 + 𝑎13 𝐴23 = 0
