Find (if possible) the following matrices: \(a, A B\) \(\boldsymbol{b}, B A\) $$A=\left[\begin{array}{ll}4 & 2 \\\6 & 1 \\\3 & 5\end{array}\right], \quad B=\left[\begin{array}{rrr}2 & 3 & 4 \\\\-1 & -2 & 0\end{array}\right]$$
Evaluate: \(\left|\begin{array}{lllll}2 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 2 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\end{array}\right|\)
Determinants are used to show that three points lie on the same line (are collinear). If $$\left|\begin{array}{lll}x_{1} & y_{1} & 1 \\\x_{2} & y_{2} & 1 \\\x_{3} & y_{3} & 1\end{array}\right|=0$$ then the points \(\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right),\left(x_{2}, y_{2}\right),\) and \(\left(x_{3}, y_{3}\right)\) are collinear. If the determinant does not equal 0 , then the points are not collinear. Are the points \((-4,-6),(1,0),\) and \((11,12)\) collinear?
What is meant by the order of a matrix? Give an example with your explanation.
Find (if possible) the following matrices: \(a, A B\) \(\boldsymbol{b}, B A\) $$A=\left[\begin{array}{l}-1 \\\\-2 \\\\-3\end{array}\right], \quad B=\left[\begin{array}{lll} 1 & 2 & 3\end{array}\right]$$
