Minor will be 𝑀_11, 𝑀_12, 𝑀_13, 𝑀_21, 𝑀_22, 𝑀_23, 𝑀_31, 𝑀_32, 𝑀_33 M11 = |■8(9&2&1@5&−1&6@4&0&−2)| = |■8(−1&6@0&−2)| = (−1) × (−2) − 0 × 6 = 2 − 0 = 2 M12 = |■8(9&2&1@5&−1&6@4&0&−2)| = |■8(5&6@4&−2)| = 5 × (−2) − 4 × 6 = −10 − 24 = −34 M13 = |■8(9&2&1@5&−1&6@4&0&−2)| = |■8(5&−1@4&0)| = 5 × 0 − 4 × (−1) = 0 + 4 = 4 M21 = |■8(9&2&1@5&−1&6@4&0&−2)| = |■8(2&1@0&−2)| = 2 × (−2) − 0 × 1 = −4 − 0 = −4 M22 = |■8(9&2&1@5&−1&6@4&0&−2)| = |■8(9&1@4&−2)| = 9 × (−2) − 4 × 1 = −18 − 4 = − 22 M23 = |■8(9&2&1@5&−1&6@4&0&−2)| = |■8(9&2@4&0)| = 9 × 0 − 4 × 2 = 0 − 8 = − 8 M31 = |■8(9&2&1@5&−1&6@4&0&−2)| = |■8(2&1@−1&6)| = 2 × 6 − (−1) × 1 = 12 + 1 = 13 M32 = |■8(9&2&1@5&−1&6@4&0&−2)| = |■8(9&1@5&6)| = 9 × 6 − 5 × 1 = 54 − 5 = 49 M33 = |■8(9&2&1@5&−1&6@4&0&−2)| = |■8(9&2@5&−1)| = 9 × (−1) − 5 × 2 = −9 − 10 = − 19 And, cofactors will be 𝐴_11 = 〖(−1)〗^(1 + 1) 𝑀_11 = 𝑀_11 = 2 𝐴_12 = 〖(−1)〗^(1 + 2) 𝑀_12 = −1 × 𝑀_12 = −1 × −34 = 34 𝐴_13 = 〖(−1)〗^(1 + 3) 𝑀_13 = 𝑀_13 = 4 𝐴_21 = 〖(−1)〗^(2 + 1) 𝑀_21 = −1 × 𝑀_21 = −1 × −4 = 4 𝐴_22 = 〖(−1)〗^(2 + 2) 𝑀_22 = 𝑀_22 = −22 𝐴_23 = 〖(−1)〗^(2 +3) 𝑀_23 = −1 × 𝑀_23 = −1 × −8 = 8 𝐴_31 = 〖(−1)〗^(3 + 1) 𝑀_31 = 𝑀_31 = 13 𝐴_32 = 〖(−1)〗^(3 + 2) 𝑀_32 = −1 × 𝑀_32 = −1 × 49 = −49 𝐴_33 = 〖(−1)〗^(3 +3) 𝑀_33 = 𝑀_33 = −19 Note : We can also calculate cofactors without calculating minors If i + j is odd, Aij = −1 × Mij If i + j is even, Aij = Mij But, why use cofactor? Let’s take a general determinant, ∆ = |■8(𝑎_11&𝑎_12&𝑎_13@𝑎_21&𝑎_22&𝑎_23@𝑎_31&𝑎_32&𝑎_33 )| ∆ = 𝑎_11 |■8(𝑎_22&𝑎_23@𝑎_32&𝑎_33 )| − 𝑎_12 |■8(𝑎_21&𝑎_23@𝑎_31&𝑎_33 )| − 𝑎_13 |■8(𝑎_21&𝑎_22@𝑎_31&𝑎_32 )| We can also write it as ∆ = 𝑎_11 × 〖(−1)〗^(1+1) |■8(𝑎_22&𝑎_23@𝑎_32&𝑎_33 )| + 𝑎_12 × 〖(−1)〗^(1+2) |■8(𝑎_22&𝑎_23@𝑎_32&𝑎_33 )| + 𝑎_13 × 〖(−1)〗^(1+3) |■8(𝑎_22&𝑎_23@𝑎_32&𝑎_33 )| ∆ = 𝑎_11 𝐴_11 + 𝑎_12 𝐴_12 + 𝑎_13 𝐴_13
