What is the degree of the determinant pqrs |
|
Answer» ong>Answer: Answer: By the basic property of a determinant, that it is 0 if two of its rows are the same, we can deduce that determinant of a VanderMonde MATRIX will be 0 when any two of its rows are the same. But that means that, as a POLYNOMIAL, it MUST have (xi - xj) as a factor, for EVERY i and j. |
