Exercise 1, § 8

Algebra, III, 637

In a matrix U of order n, if, for each index i, the column of index i is replaced by the sum of the columns of index ≠i\neq i, the determinant of the matrix obtained is equal to (−1)n−1(n−1)det⁡U(-1)^{n-1}(n-1) \det U. If in U, for each i, the sum of the columns of index ≠i\neq i is subtracted from the column of index i, the determinant obtained is equal to −(n−2)2n−1det⁡U-(n-2)2^{n-1} \det U.
