    you probably should also point out that any row works. Following the following:
    [+ - +]
    [- + - ]
    [+ - +]
    any row should give the same result following the sign convention above.

    • @itsFarawaySkies
      @itsFarawaySkies 10 лет назад

      I'm trying to figure out how he came up with the signs of the 1,-6, and 4. I'm assuming you use the signs from your comment to decide. So if a11=-1, when you write it out it actually becomes +1? Hope I'm clear in my question. It is the one thing that was not covered in the video.

    • @waffledude111111
      @waffledude111111 10 лет назад +4

      itsFarawaySkies no, what I mean is when you cover up the numbers, those determine the sign of the the result of the smaller determinant. in this case he used the first row, so we follow the [+ - +], a11 is positive so we leave that, a12 is going to be negative so put a negative in front of that. In your case, if a11 is -1, since in that definition a11 is positive, you multiply it by a positive(times +1) so it's still -1.
      But if we are to use the second row, when we cover up the 2, after we find the determinant of that smaller matrix, we times it by a negative(times -1), since row 2 is [- + -], the 7 will be multiplied with a positive(times +1) and so forth.

    • @jpr422
      @jpr422 10 лет назад +1

      itsFarawaySkies If you go into Wikipedia and key in Laplace Expansion it will explain why the middle, smaller matrix changes from + to -. It has something to do with taking -1 to the power whose sum is the number of the row added to the number of the column. Example: let i be the row number and j be column number. (-1)^(i+j) will determine if their sum is odd then it will be negative and if their sum is even then it will be positive. Something not explained in the video.

    My lecturer sucked at explaining this. But 7 minutes with you and it is beginning to make sense!
