Minors and Cofactors
● Minor of an element aij of a determinant is the determinant obtained by

deleting its ith row and jth column in which element aij lies. Minor of an
element aij is denoted by Mij.
● Cofactor of an element aij, denoted by Aij is defined by Aij = (–1)i + j.Mij ,

where Mij is minor of aij.
Properties:
● The sum of product of elements of any row (column) with their

corresponding cofactors is value of determinant.
Remark:
If elements of a row (or column) are multiplied with cofactors of any
other row (or column), then their sum is zero.
Note:
For easy calculation in a determinant of order 3 the signs used to find
the cofactors are

Properties of Adjoint of a Matrix
For Non–Singular Square Matrices, A and B we have the following results:

Homogeneous Equations
Ax =0
|A|≠0
Trivial Solutions |A| =0
x=y=z=0
Infinite Solutions
(trivial) & nontrivial
Important Note:
1. Homogeneous system is always consistent (as (0,0,0) always satisfies
it)
2. (0,0,0) is also called trivial solution.
3. Homogeneous system has non-trivial (i.e., non-zero) solution if |A|=0.

Transposed Conjugate
● Transpose of conjugate of a matrix is called its transposed conjugate.

● It is denoted by (Ā)T or Aθ
Example:
Unitary Matrix
A SQUARE Matrix A is said to be a Unitary Matrix if:
A×(Ā)T = I
Hermitian Matrix
A SQUARE Matrix A is said to be a Hermitian Matrix if:
(Ā)T = A
Example:
Skew Hermitian Matrix
A SQUARE Matrix A is said to be a Skew Hermitian Matrix if:
(Ā)T = –A
