Check even answers p.76: Hint: One of the problems on p.76 has (2, -7, 12) (-5, 2, 4) (1/2, -3/4, 1/5) (-16, 24, 12) 28. 2π (show work!) Hint: One of the problems on p.76 has no solution. Why is there no solution??
The following problems from pages 82-84 were not possible: #9, 12, 29, 39
Notes 2-5 Determinants & Inverses Each square matrix has a determinant, which is a single numerical value. If the determinant is 0, then the inverse of the matrix does not exist (undefined) 2 x 2 determinant (2nd order)
3 x 3 determinant (3rd order) “expansion by minors” 4
I = Identity Matrices: 2nd order I = 3rd order 4th order I = I =
The product of a matrix (A) and its inverse is the identity matrix: Determinant 6
