In the following problem, we will work through a proof of an important theorem of arithmetic. Your job will be to read the proof carefully and answer some questions about the argument. Theorem (The Division Algorithm). For any integer n ≥ 0, and for any positive integer m, there exist integers d and r such that n = dm + r and 0 ≤ r < m. Proof: (By strong induction on the variable n.) Let m be an arbitrary...
1. To prove the theorem in detail. Theorem: det A for any n X n-matrix A can be computed by a cofactor expansion across the ith row of A, that is, det A H-1)adtAj Hint: Use induction on i, For the induction step from i to i+1, flip rows i and i+1 (How does this change the determinant?) and use the induction assumption. 1. To prove the theorem in detail. Theorem: det A for any n X n-matrix A can...
