(A) find the determinant of \(A,\) (b) find \(A^{-1},\) (c) find \(\operatorname{det}\left(A^{-1}\right),\) and (d) compare your results from parts (a) and (c). Make a conjecture based on your results. $$A=\left[\begin{array}{rr} 1 & 2 \\ -2 & 2 \end{array}\right]$$
Find the point of equilibrium of the demand and supply equations. The point of equilibrium is the price \(p\) and the number of units \(x\) that satisfy both the demand and supply equations. Demand \(\quad\) Supply \(p=140-0.00002 x \quad p=80+0.00001 x\)
Use the matrix capabilities of a graphing utility to solve (if possible) the system of linear equations. $$\left\\{\begin{array}{l} 2 x+3 y+5 z=4 \\ 3 x+5 y-9 z=7 \\ 5 x+9 y+17 z=13 \end{array}\right.$$
Solve for \(x\) $$\left|\begin{array}{cc} 2 x & -3 \\ -2 & 2 x \end{array}\right|=3$$
Evaluate the determinant, in which the entries are functions. Determinants of this type occur when changes of variables are made in calculus. $$\left|\begin{array}{cc} 4 u & -1 \\ -1 & 2 v \end{array}\right|$$
