Let $A \in S_n^{++}(\mathbf{R})$ and $M \in S_n(\mathbf{R})$. Let the application $f_A$ defined on $\mathbf{R}$ by $$f_A(t) = \operatorname{det}(A + tM).$$ Let $\varepsilon_0 > 0$ be such that for all $t \in ]-\varepsilon_0, \varepsilon_0[, A + tM \in S_n^{++}(\mathrm{R})$. Determine $f_A'(t)$ for all $t \in ]-\varepsilon_0, \varepsilon_0[$.
