Input Matrix:
`[[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]]`
.
Input Matrix: The matrix being subtraced has deteriminant of zero since it has two rows equal:
.
`A^{(1)}=[[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]] - 4*[[0,0,0],[1,2,3],[0,0,0]]=[[1,2,3],[0,-3,-6],[7,8,9]]`
Using `A^{(1)}`: Subtract 7*Row1 matrix you get the matrix below:
.
`A^{(2)} = [[1,2,3],[0,-3,-6],[7,8,9]] - 7*[[0,0,0],[0,0,0],[1,2,3]]=[[1,2,3],[0,-3,-6],[0,-6,-12]]`
.
Using `A^{(2)}`: Subtract -2*Row2 matrix you get the matrix below:
.
`A^{(3)} = [[1,2,3],[0,-3,-6],[0,-6,-12]] - 2*[[0,0,0],[0,0,0],[0,-3,-6]]=[[1,2,3],[0,-3,-6],[0,0,0]]`
.
`A^{(3)}` is upper diagonal so its determinant is:
.
`det(A^{(3)})=(1)(-3)(0)=0`
