18, 19. Assuming the law to be 6 ~ /i ( T+ * Tr ), we have 



K

and, forming the determinant, 



n l \ K 



&c. 



n \ n n 



With D n , D 12 , &c., for minors, we find 

 D = (! + *>-*" 



and therefore

And since v z and w; 2 have corresponding values, therefore

These results are easily obtained by considering the general deter- 

 minant.

b 2a b . 



It will be found for n = 2, n = 3, and thence by induction for all 

 values of n, that D = (2 a b) n + nb(2a b) n ~ l . Whence, replacing 



2a by 1H /c, and b by , we get the results above stated.
