STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are asked to find the determinant of a4x4 matrix. . The matrix is given as followsΔ=1343579471115842130\Delta=\left|\begin{array}{llll}1 & &3 &4 \\3 &5 &7 &9 \\4 &7 &11 &15 \\8 &4 &21 &30\end{array}\right|

STEP 2

We will use the method of minors and cofactors to find the determinant of this4x4 matrix. This involves finding the determinants ofx sub-matrices.

STEP 3

Let's start by expanding along the first row. The determinant of ax matrix can be calculated as followsΔ=a11C11a12C12+a13C13a14C14\Delta = a_{11}C_{11} - a_{12}C_{12} + a_{13}C_{13} - a_{14}C_{14}where aija_{ij} are the elements of the first row and CijC_{ij} are the corresponding cofactors.

STEP 4

The cofactors CijC_{ij} are calculated as the determinant of the (4-1)x(4-1) =3x3 matrix that results from removing the i-th row and j-th column from the original4x4 matrix, multiplied by (1)i+j(-1)^{i+j}. Let's calculate these cofactors.

STEP 5

Calculate C11C_{11}C11=(1)1+15797111542130C_{11} = (-1)^{1+1} \left|\begin{array}{lll}5 &7 &9 \\7 &11 &15 \\4 &21 &30\end{array}\right|

STEP 6

Calculate C12C_{12}C12=(1)1+2394111582130C_{12} = (-1)^{1+2} \left|\begin{array}{lll}3 & &9 \\4 &11 &15 \\8 &21 &30\end{array}\right|

STEP 7

Calculate C13C_{13}C13=(1)1+33594715430C_{13} = (-1)^{1+3} \left|\begin{array}{lll}3 &5 &9 \\4 &7 &15 \\ &4 &30\end{array}\right|

STEP 8

Calculate C14C_{14}C14=(1)1+435747118421C_{14} = (-1)^{1+4} \left|\begin{array}{lll}3 &5 &7 \\4 &7 &11 \\8 &4 &21\end{array}\right|

STEP 9

Now we need to calculate the determinants of these3x3 matrices. We will use the formula for the determinant of a3x3 matrixabcdefghi=aei+bfg+cdhcegbdiafh\left|\begin{array}{lll}a & b & c \\ d & e & f \\ g & h & i\end{array}\right| = aei + bfg + cdh - ceg - bdi - afh

STEP 10

Calculate the determinant for CC_{}C=530+7154+972194715215730C_{} =5**30 +7*15*4 +9*7*21 -9**4 -7*15*21 -5*7*30

STEP 11

Calculate the determinant for CC_{}C=31130+7158+9421911871543730C_{} =3*11*30 +7*15*8 +9*4*21 -9*11*8 -7*15*4 -3*7*30

STEP 12

Calculate the determinant for CC_{}C=730+5158+9479785154730C_{} =*7*30 +5*15*8 +9*4*7 -9*7*8 -5*15*4 -*7*30

STEP 13

Calculate the determinant for CC_{}C=3721+5118+777785113721C_{} =3*7*21 +5*11*8 +7**7 -7*7*8 -5*11* -3*7*21

STEP 14

Now we can substitute the determinants of the cofactors back into the formula for the determinant of the4x4 matrixΔ=C112C12+3C134C14\Delta =*C_{11} -2*C_{12} +3*C_{13} -4*C_{14}

STEP 15

Plug in the values for C11C_{11}, C12C_{12}, C13C_{13}, and C14C_{14} to calculate the determinant.

STEP 16

Calculate the determinant of the matrix.
The final determinant value will be the solution to the problem.
