Question

Consider a 3×3 involutory matrix B0=43310α4β3 and the matrices Bn=adj(Bn1), nN. Then the value of det(Bαβ0+Bαβ1+Bαβ2++Bαβ10) is

Solution

We have, B0=43310α4β3
Since B0 is an involutory matrix, therefore B20=I.
Then, B20=43310α4β343310α4β3
=1123β33α4α4αβ33α3β43β12αβ3=100010001
α=1,β=4 and |B0|=1

Also, Bn=adj(Bn1)
For n=1,
B1=adj(B0)=|B0|B10
B1=B0
Similarly, B2=B0 and so on.

Now, det(Bαβ0+Bαβ1+Bαβ2++Bαβ10)
=det(B40+Bαβ0+B40++B40)
=det(11I)=113=1331
