Explanation Theorem 1: Consider A is a n × n matrix. The Determinants of the matrix A can be computed using cofactor expansion across the rows or down the columns. Show the expression for computing the Determinant of matrix A using cofactor expansion across the i t h row as follows: det A = a i 1 C i 1 + a i 2 C i 2 + ⋯ + a i n C i n (1) Here, C i j is the cofactor of matrix A . Show the expression for the cofactor of matrix A as follows C i j = ( − 1 ) i + j det A i j (2) Here, i and j are the row and column position of elements, A i j is the sub matrix obtained by deleting i t h row and j t h column of matrix A . Modify Equation (1) using Equation (3). det A = a i 1 ( − 1 ) i + 1 det A i 1 + a i 2 ( − 1 ) i + 2 det A i 2 + ⋯ + a i n ( − 1 ) i + n det A i n (3) Given information: The line passes through the point ( x 1 , y 1 ) with slope m . Refer Exercise 7. The Equation of the line passing through the point ( x 1 , y 1 ) and ( x 2 , y 2 ) is shown as follows: det [ 1 x y 1 x 1 y 1 1 x 2 y 2 ] = 0 (4) Calculation: Consider the line passes through the point ( x 1 , y 1 ) with slope m . Consider a point ( x 2 , y 2 ) also lies in the line such that ( x 2 , y 2 ) = ( x 1 + 1 , y 1 + m ) Modify Equation (4) using the points ( x 1 , y 1 ) and ( x 1 + 1 , y 1 + m ) as follows: det [ 1 x y 1 x 1 y 1 1 x 1 + 1 y 1 + m ] = 0 Consider the row 1, row 2 and row 3 of the matrix is denoted by R1 , R2 and R3. Replace R2 by R3 − R2 on left hand side of the Equation. det [ 1 x y 1 x 1 y 1 0 1 m ] R3 → R3 − R2 = 0 (5) Calculate the left hand side of Equation (5) by cofactor expansion across the first row as follows: Substitute 1 for i and 3 for n in Equation (3)

Patterns in Floor Tiling A square floor is to be tiled with square tiles as shown. There are blue tiles on the main diagonals and red tiles everywhere else. In all cases, both blue and red tiles must be used. and the two diagonals must have a common blue tile at the center of the floor. If 81 blue tiles will be used, how many red tiles will be needed?
