### Exercise

Determine explicitly the column rank and the row rank of the matrix
    ${\begin{pmatrix}3&2&6\\4&1&5\\6&-1&3\end{pmatrix}}.$

    ${\begin{pmatrix}1&3&5\\2&1&3\\8&7&4\end{pmatrix}}.$

### Exercise

Prove by induction that the determinant of an upper triangular matrix is equal to the product of the diagonal elements.

### Exercise

Check the multi-linearity and the property to be alternating, directly for the determinant of a $3\times 3$-matrix.

### Exercise
