Example Question #91 : Matrices

Find the determinant of the matrix $A=\begin{vmatrix} 15& -15& -15\\10 &-13 &-9 \\11 &3 &-1 \end{vmatrix}$

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The determinant of a 3x3 matrix can be found via a means of reduction into three 2x2 matrices as follows:

$det\begin{vmatrix} a&b&c \\ d&e&f\\g&h&i \end{vmatrix}=a\begin{Vmatrix} e&f \\ h&i \end{Vmatrix}-b\begin{Vmatrix} d&f \\ g&i \end{Vmatrix}+c\begin{Vmatrix} d&e \\ g&h \end{Vmatrix}$

These can then be further reduced via the method of finding the determinant of a 2x2 matrix:

$det\begin{vmatrix} a&b&c \\ d&e&f\\g&h&i \end{vmatrix}=a(ei-fh)-b(di-fg)+c(dh-eg)$

For the matrix $A=\begin{vmatrix} 15& -15& -15\\10 &-13 &-9 \\11 &3 &-1 \end{vmatrix}$

The determinant is thus:

{|A|=15[-13(-1)-3(-9)]-(-15)[10(-1)-11(-9)]+(-15)[10(3)-11(-13)]=-660}

Explanation:

The determinant of a 3x3 matrix can be found via a means of reduction into three 2x2 matrices as follows:

$det\begin{vmatrix} a&b&c \\ d&e&f\\g&h&i \end{vmatrix}=a\begin{Vmatrix} e&f \\ h&i \end{Vmatrix}-b\begin{Vmatrix} d&f \\ g&i \end{Vmatrix}+c\begin{Vmatrix} d&e \\ g&h \end{Vmatrix}$

These can then be further reduced via the method of finding the determinant of a 2x2 matrix:

$det\begin{vmatrix} a&b&c \\ d&e&f\\g&h&i \end{vmatrix}=a(ei-fh)-b(di-fg)+c(dh-eg)$

For the matrix $A=\begin{vmatrix} 5& 0&-5 \\-7 &8 &-6 \\ -2&-9 &4 \end{vmatrix}$

The determinant is thus:

{|A|=5[8(4)-(-9)(-6)]-0[-7(4)-(-2)(-6)]+(-5)[-7(-9)-(-2)(8)]=-505}

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The determinant of a 3x3 matrix can be found via a means of reduction into three 2x2 matrices as follows:

$det\begin{vmatrix} a&b&c \\ d&e&f\\g&h&i \end{vmatrix}=a\begin{Vmatrix} e&f \\ h&i \end{Vmatrix}-b\begin{Vmatrix} d&f \\ g&i \end{Vmatrix}+c\begin{Vmatrix} d&e \\ g&h \end{Vmatrix}$

These can then be further reduced via the method of finding the determinant of a 2x2 matrix:

$det\begin{vmatrix} a&b&c \\ d&e&f\\g&h&i \end{vmatrix}=a(ei-fh)-b(di-fg)+c(dh-eg)$

For the matrix $A=\begin{vmatrix}-6 &-9 &-5 \\-1 &8 &6 \\-3 &6 & 7\end{vmatrix}$

The determinant is thus:

{|A|=-6[8(7)-6(6)]-(-9)[-1(7)-(-3)(6)]+(-5)[-1(6)-(-3)(8)]=-111}
