For any positive integer n, we define a n x n matrix ai b2 br C2 02 Dn= : Cn an 9 where ai, , an are non-zero real numbers, and b2, ... bn, C2, ...,Cn are real numbers. Notice that for any 1 Sij<n, we have ai if i = j, if i = 1 and j > 2, b; [Dn]ij = сі if i > 2 and j = 1, 0 otherwise. Here (Dn]ij is the (i, j)-th component of the matrix Dn. Compute det (Dn). Your answer should depend on n, di, bị and ci.
