Let A and B be n x n matrices.
(a) A is invertible if and only if
det A 0.
(b) det AB (det A)(det B ).
T
(c) det A det A.
(d) If A is triangular, then det A
is the product of the entries
on the main diagonal of A.
(e) A row replacement
operation on A does not
change the determinant.
(f) A row interchange
changes the sign of the
determinant.
(g) A row scaling also scales
the determinant by the same
scalar factor.
det( A   I ) 0
If A and B are n x n matrices,
then A is similar to B if there
is an invertible matrix P such
that P AP = B, or
-1

equivalently, A = PBP -1.


Writing Q for P -1, we have
Q -1BQ = A.
So B is also similar to A,
and we say simply that A
and B are similar.
Changing A into P -1AP
is called a similarity
transformation.
If n x n matrices A and B are
similar, then they have the
same characteristic
polynomial and hence the
same eigenvalues (with the
same multiplicities).
