Let $$A = \begin{pmatrix} m & n \\ p & q \end{pmatrix}$$, $$d = |A| \neq 0$$ and $$\left| A - d(\text{Adj } A) \right| = 0$$. Then
To find the relation between the determinant d and the elements of the matrix A, we evaluate the given determinant condition:
$$\left| A - d(\text{Adj } A) \right| = 0$$
The matrix A and its determinant d are defined as:
$$A = \begin{pmatrix} m & n \\ p & q \end{pmatrix}, \quad d = |A| = mq - np$$
The adjoint of a 2x2 matrix is obtained by swapping the diagonal elements and changing the signs of the off-diagonal elements:
$$\text{Adj } A = \begin{pmatrix} q & -n \\ -p & m \end{pmatrix}$$
---
Step 1: Express the matrix $$A - d(\text{Adj } A)$$
Multiplying the adjoint matrix by d:
$$d(\text{Adj } A) = \begin{pmatrix} dq & -dn \\ -dp & dm \end{pmatrix}$$
Now, subtracting this from matrix A:
$$A - d(\text{Adj } A) = \begin{pmatrix} m & n \\ p & q \end{pmatrix} - \begin{pmatrix} dq & -dn \\ -dp & dm \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} m - dq & n(1 + d) \\ p(1 + d) & q - dm \end{pmatrix}$$
---
Step 2: Evaluate the determinant and set it to zero
$$\left| A - d(\text{Adj } A) \right| = \begin{vmatrix} m - dq & n(1 + d) \\ p(1 + d) & q - dm \end{vmatrix} = 0$$
Expanding the determinant:
$$(m - dq)(q - dm) - np(1 + d)^2 = 0$$
$$mq - m^2d - q^2d + mqd^2 - np(1 + d)^2 = 0$$
---
Step 3: Simplify using the definition of d
Grouping the terms with mq:
$$mq(1 + d^2) - d(m^2 + q^2) - np(1 + d)^2 = 0$$
We know that np = mq - d. Substituting this into the equation:
$$mq(1 + d^2) - d(m^2 + q^2) - (mq - d)(1 + 2d + d^2) = 0$$
$$mq + mqd^2 - dm^2 - dq^2 - (mq + 2mqd + mqd^2 - d - 2d^2 - d^3) = 0$$
Canceling out the common terms $$mq$$ and $$mqd^2$$:
$$-dm^2 - dq^2 - 2mqd + d + 2d^2 + d^3 = 0$$
Dividing the entire equation by $$-d$$ (since $$d \neq 0$$):
$$m^2 + q^2 + 2mq - 1 - 2d - d^2 = 0$$
---
Step 4: Form the perfect squares
Recognizing the algebraic expansions for $$(m + q)^2$$ and $$(1 + d)^2$$:
$$(m + q)^2 - (1 + 2d + d^2) = 0$$
$$(m + q)^2 - (1 + d)^2 = 0$$
$$(1 + d)^2 = (m + q)^2$$
Therefore, the final relationship is equal to $$(1 + d)^2 = (m + q)^2$$.
