Chapter 4: Q26. (page 186)

Find the value of each determinant.
26. $|\begin{matrix} 鈭� 3.2 & 鈭� 5.8 \\ 4.1 & 3.9 \end{matrix}|$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of the determinant $|\begin{matrix} 鈭� 3.2 & 鈭� 5.8 \\ 4.1 & 3.9 \end{matrix}| = 11.3$ .

Step by step solution

- Define the determinant of second-order matrix

The determinant of second order matrix is found by calculating the difference of the product of the two diagonals, that is., $|\begin{matrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{matrix}| = a d 鈭� b c$ ..

- Find the determinant

Apply the definition of the method of finding determinant of second order

matrix $|\begin{matrix} 鈭� 3.2 & 鈭� 5.8 \\ 4.1 & 3.9 \end{matrix}|$ .

$|\begin{matrix} 鈭� 3.2 & 鈭� 5.8 \\ 4.1 & 3.9 \end{matrix}| = 鈭� 3.2 脳 (3.9) 鈭� (鈭� 5.8) (4.1)$

- Simplify

To further simplify multiply the values first.

$\begin{matrix} |\begin{matrix} 鈭� 3.2 & 鈭� 5.8 \\ 4.1 & 3.9 \end{matrix}| = 鈭� 3.2 脳 (3.9) 鈭� (鈭� 5.8) (4.1) \\ = 鈭� 12.48 + 23.78 \\ = 11.3 \end{matrix}$
