Now we shall discuss the use of determinants in finding the area of a triangle and in the solution of simultaneous equation..

Using determinants, find the area of triangle whose vertices are (2, -7), (1, 3), (10, 8). Solution: (x 1 , y 1 ) = (2, -7) (x 2 , y 2 ) = (1, 3) (x 3 , y 3 ) = (10, 8) Area of the triangle = -47.5 Since area has to be a positive quantity, it is given by 47.5 sq.uni..

If a system of linear equations has at least one solution, then the system is called consistent, otherwise it is called inconsistent. Solve the system of linear equations (1) by using method of elimination as studied earlier Multiplying the first equation by a 2 and the second equation by a 1 , w..

Solve the system of linear equations. x +2y + 3z = 6 2x + 4y + z = 7 3x + 2y + 9z = 14 using Cramer's rul..

If D = 0 and all D 1 , D 2 and D 3 are zeros, this system has either infinite solution or no solution. In this case, put x = k(y = k or z = k), in any two of the equations, find y and z in terms of k. Substitute these values of x, y and z in terms of k, in the third equation. If the third equati..

Consider the homogeneous equations a 1 x + b 1 y + c 1 z = 0 a 2 x + b 2 y + c 2 z = 0 a 3 x + b 3 y + c 3 z = 0 The homogenous system of equations is always consistent because x = 0, y = 0, z = 0 satisfies all the equations in the system. This solution is called the trivial solution. then the s..

Pre-multiply by A - 1 , \ A - 1 (AX) = A - 1 B \ (A - 1 A) X = A - 1 B \ I X = A - 1 B or X = A - 1 B This is the matrix method to solve the equations. However, ..
