Exercise 4.3.18
Answers
For the first case, let be a matrix of type 2 meaning multiplying the -th row by a scalar . We have by Exercise 4.2.28. And since determinant is linear function of the -th row when other rows are held fixed, we have
For the second case, let be a matrix of type 3 meaning adding times the -row to the -th row. We have by Exercise 4.2.28. And since determinant will not change when we adding some times the -row to the -th row, we have
