Question: Starting with Eq. (6.35) and Eq. (6.37), show that the 2 2 matrix resulting from the product of the three 2 2 matrices

Starting with Eq. (6.35) and Eq. (6.37), show that the 2 × 2 matrix resulting from the product of the three 2 × 2 matrices in Eq. (6.33) has the form

a12do) a12 | (а11 — ај2do) Мт

Since this matrix is the product of matrices each of which has a unit determinant, it has a unit determinant. Accordingly, show that

a12do) a12 | (11 2do) a21 d22do + (a11 a12do)d = 0

a12do) a12 | (11 2do) a21 d22do + (a11 a12do)d = 0 (6.35)
