Student’s Competency: Devising Strategies for Problem Solving

Essential Skills/Process: Comprehending
Lesson Introduction [Timing: 5 Mins]
Recapitulate previous lesson taught by asking questions about how to find the
determinants of order 2 and 3. Then introduce the topic: Minors and co-factors.
Lesson Development [Timing: 20 Mins]
Tr. Will discuss and explain the concept of minors and co-factors of determinants.
Minors of an element: is a determinant that is left after removing the row and the
column which intersects at the elements.
𝑎1 𝑏1 𝑐1
Consider the determinant |𝑎2 𝑏2 𝑐2 |
𝑐1 𝑐2 𝑐3

𝑏2 𝑐2 𝑎2 𝑐2 𝑎2 𝑏2 𝑏 𝑐1
The minor of 𝑎1 = | |, 𝑏1 = |𝑎 𝑐3 |, 𝑐1 = |𝑎3 |, 𝑎2 = | 1 | and so on.
𝑏3 𝑐3 3 𝑏3 𝑐2 𝑐3
In short, Minors are represented by 𝑀𝑖𝑗 , where i denotes row. no and j represent
column no. of the element in the determinant.
Co-factor of a determined by 𝐴𝑖𝑗 = (−1)𝑖+𝑗 𝑀𝑖𝑗 , where 𝐴𝑖𝑗 denotes Co-factor and i
represent the row no. and j represents the column no. of the element in the determinant.
Q1. Write the minors and co-factors of each element of the first column of the
following determinants and evaluate the determinant in each case.

Monitoring/ Follow-up Activity [Timing: 10 Mins]
Tr. Will move around the class and then comment on student’s solution.
Lesson Closure [Timing: 5 Mins]
Summarize the lesson taught. Assign Q1 (ii) from exercise 2(b) Ch 2-9 as a homework.
