problem on determinant as a linear map

For $V = (V_1,V_2 )\in\mathbb{R}^2$ and $W = (W_1,W_2 )\in\mathbb{R}^2$ , Consider the determinant map $$\det :\mathbb{R}^2 \times \mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}$$ defined by $$\det(V,W) = V_1W_2 -V_2W_1$$

Then the derivative of the determinant map at $(V,W)\in\mathbb{R}^2 \times \mathbb{R}^2$ evaluated on $(H, K )\in\mathbb{R}^2 \times\mathbb{R}^2$ is:

1. $\det (H,W) + \det(V, K )$
2. $\det (H, K )$
3. $\det (H,V ) + \det(W, K )$
4. $\det (V,W) + \det(K,W)$

Can anyone help me to solve this problem? Thank you.

Just write down $\det(V+ H, W+K) - \det(V,W)$ and toss away the higher order term. – martini Oct 5 '12 at 12:43
Hint: Multilinear maps satisfy the product rule. – Alexander Thumm Oct 5 '12 at 12:44

If you have a continuous bi-linear map(in general multilinear) $f: E_1 \times E_2 \rightarrow F$ , where $E_1, E_2,F$ are Banach spaces, then given
$v_1 \in E_1$ and $v_2 \in E_2$ ,
$Df(v_1, v_2)(h_1,h_2) = f(v_1, h_2) +f(h_1, v_2)$ .
