Can someone actually solve this determinant?
Thanks
Can someone actually solve this determinant?
Not doing your homework.
Yeah, but it doesn't take a genius to realize this is just something your professor gave you to see if you understand determinant properties, so you can do your own homework.
wats a determinant lol
Use induction or something
yeah I know but I'm sitting here for 2 hours doing everything and still cant figure this out
Damn really? I am going to help you out of pity. You did not ask to be born retarded.
Dude, it is really obvious. Here is a hint: Add up all the other columns to the first column and see what remains.
The determinant reduces to two smaller n-1 determinants, which reduces to two more smaller determinants etc...
>Being this low IQ
Do what is instructed in and then it reduces to just one smaller determinant.
I've never worked with determinants that are bigger than 3x3 before and I really need to see how the fuck i work with these.
