Question
Evaluate $\left|\begin{array}{ccc}2 & -3 & 5 \\ 6 & 0 & 4 \\ 1 & 5 & -7\end{array}\right|$ and cofactors of elements in the $2^{nd}$ determinant and verify:
$i. -a_{21} \cdot M_{21}+a_{22} \cdot M_{22}-a_{23} \cdot M_{23}=$ value of $A a_{21} \cdot C_{21}+a_{22} \cdot C_{22}+a_{23} \cdot C_{23}-$ value of $A$ where $M_{21}, M_{22}, M_{23}$ are minors of $a_{21}, a_{22}, a_{23}$ and $C_{21}, C_{22}, C_{23}$ are cofactors of $a_{21}, a_{22}, a_{23}$.

Answer

$\begin{aligned} & A=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}2 & -3 & 5 \\ 6 & 0 & 4 \\ 1 & 5 & -7\end{array}\right| \end{aligned} $
$ =2\left|\begin{array}{cc}0 & 4 \\ 5 & -7\end{array}\right|-(-3)\left|\begin{array}{cc}6 & 4 \\ 1 & -7\end{array}\right|+5\left|\begin{array}{cc}6 & 0 \\ 1 & 5\end{array}\right|$
$ =2(0-20)+3(-42-4)+5(30-0)=2(-20)+3(-46)+5(30)$
$ =2(0-20)+3(-42-4)+5(30-0)=2(-20)+3(-46)+5(30)$
$ =-40-138+150$
$=-28$
Here, $\left|\begin{array}{lll}a_{11} & a_{12} & a_{13} \\ a_{21} & a_{22} & a_{23} \\ a_{31} & a_{32} & a_{33}\end{array}\right|=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}2 & -3 & 5 \\ 6 & 0 & 4 \\ 1 & 5 & -7\end{array}\right|$
$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{M}_{21}=\left|\begin{array}{cc}-3 & 5 \\ 5 & -7\end{array}\right|=21-25=-4 \end{aligned} $
$ \mathrm{C}_{21}=(-1)^{2+1} \mathrm{M}_{21}=(-1)(-4)=4  $
$ \mathrm{M}_{22}=\left|\begin{array}{cc}2 & 5 \\ 1 & -7\end{array}\right|=-14-5=-19  $
$ \mathrm{C}_{22}=(-1)^{2+2} \mathrm{M}_{22}=(1)(-19)=-19  $
$ \mathrm{M}_{23}=\left|\begin{array}{cc}2 & -3 \\ 1 & 5\end{array}\right|=10+3=13$
$ \mathrm{C}_{23}=(-1)^{2+3} \mathrm{M}_{23}=(-1)(13)=-13$
$ -\mathrm{a}_{21} \cdot M_{21}+\mathrm{a}_{22} \cdot M_{22}-\mathrm{a}_{23} \cdot M_{23}$
$ =-(6)(-4)+(0)(-19)-(4)(13)$
$ =24+0-52$
$ =-28$
$ -a_{21} \cdot M_{21}+a_{22} \cdot M_{22}-a_{23} \cdot M_{23}=$ value of $A$
$ \text { ii. } a_{21} \cdot C_{21}+a_{22} \cdot C_{22}+a_{23} \cdot C_{23}$
$ =(6)(4)+(0)(-19)+(4)(-13)$
$ =24+0-52 .$
$ =-28$
$ a_{21} \cdot C_{21}+a_{22} \cdot C_{22}+a_{23} \cdot C_{23}=$ value of $A$
