Let R i denotes the i t h row of the matrix A = [a i j ] then the elementary row operations on the matrix A are defined as: 3. R i g R i + kR j means multiply each element of j t h row by k and add it to the corresponding elements of i t h row. The corresponding column transformatio..

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..
