Example Question #151 : Matrices

Find the determinant of the 2x2 matrix $\begin{bmatrix} -1& 8\\ 3&5 \end{bmatrix}$

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the determinant of a 2x2 matrix $a=\begin{bmatrix} x&y \\ z&q \end{bmatrix}$ , we apply the definition:

determinant=xq-zy

Using the matrix from the problem statement, we get

(-1*5)-(3*8)=-29

Example Question #747 : Vectors And Vector Operations

Find the determinant of the 3x3 matrix given:

$\begin{bmatrix} 5&-5 &0 \\ 2&4 &7 \\ 1& 1& -2 \end{bmatrix}$

Possible Answers:

130

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the determinant of a 3x3 matrix $m=\begin{bmatrix} x&y &z\\ a_1&a_2 &a_3 \\ b_1& b_2&b_3 \end{bmatrix}$ . determinant=x(a_2b_3-b_2a_3)-y(a_1b_3-b_1a_3)+z(a_1b_2-b_1a_2)

Using the vectors from the problem statement, we get

determinant=5(-8-7)+5(-4-7)+0(2-4)=-130

121

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the determinant of a 3x3 matrix $M=\begin{bmatrix} x&y &z \\ a_1&a_2 &a_3 \\ b_1& b_2&b_3 \end{bmatrix}$ , you use the formula

determinant(M)=x(a_2b_3-b_2a_3)-y(a_1b_3-b_1a_3)+z(a_1b_2-b_1a_2)

Using the matrix from the problem statement, we get

-4(0-4)-7(15+4)+1(6-0)=-111

Possible Answers:

$\left \langle -21,-6,17\right \rangle$

$\left \langle -21,9,17\right \rangle$

$\left \langle -21,6,17\right \rangle$

$\left \langle -20,6,14\right \rangle$

Correct answer:

$\left \langle -21,6,17\right \rangle$

Explanation:

To find the determinant of a 3x3 matrix $m=\begin{bmatrix} x& y & z\\ a_1&a_2 &a_3 \\ b_1& b_2& b_3 \end{bmatrix}$ , we use the formula

determinant(m)=x(a_2b_3-b_2a_3)-y(a_1b_3-b_1a_3)+z(a_1b_2-b_1a_2)

Example Question #2753 : Calculus 3

Calculate the determinant of Matrix .

$A=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2&3 \\ 0& 2& 1\\ 3& 4& 5 \end{bmatrix}$

Possible Answers:

$\det(A)=6$

$\det(A)=-2$

$\det(A)=1$

$\det(A)=0$

$\det(A)=-6$

Correct answer:

$\det(A)=-6$

Explanation:

In order to find the determinant of , we first need to copy down the first two columns into columns 4 and 5.

$A=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2&3 & 1 &2\\ 0& 2& 1&0 &2\\ 3& 4& 5 &3 &4\end{bmatrix}$

The next step is to multiply the down diagonals.

$A_d=1\cdot2\cdot5+2\cdot1\cdot 3+3\cdot0\cdot4=10+6+0=16$

The next step is to multiply the up diagonals.

$A_u=3\cdot2\cdot3+4\cdot1\cdot1+5\cdot0\cdot2=18+4=22$

The last step is to substract A_u from A_d .

$\det(A)=A_d-A_u=16-22=-6$
