Q

Cofactors

A

Cofactors are determinants of submatrices associated with particular entries in the original square matrix. The minor of entry aij is the determinant of a submatrix resulting from the elimination of the single row i and the single column j. The cofactor of entry aij is the minor of aij multiplied by either +1 or −1, depending on the position of the entry

Q

Cramer’s rule

A

The procedure is to calculate determinant of the original coefficient matrix A and of the n matrices resulting from the systematic replacement of a column in A by the constant matrix B . For a system of three equations in three unknowns, there are three substitutional matrices, A1, A2, and A3, as well as the original coefficient matrix, for a total of four matrices whose determinants must be calculated.
