Let A be the original matrix given in Exercise 16,
Let A be the original matrix given in Exercise 16,

Notice that A, B, and C are nearly the same except that the first column of A equals the sum of the first columns of B and C. A linearity property of the determinant function, discussed in Section 3.2, says that det A = det B C det C. Use this fact to prove the formula in Exercise 16 by induction on the size of matrix A?
