We have already learnt in the previous class that the area of triangle whose vertices are (x 1 , y 1 ), (x 2 , y 2 ), (x 3 , y 3 ) is given by Hence area of a triangle having vertices at (x 1 , y 1 ), (x 2 , y 2 ) and (x 3 , y 3 ) is given by..

We recall from our earlier classes that a system of linear equation with two variables is given by This system of linear equation may have either one solution or infinitely many solutions or no solutio..

The determinant of coefficients ..

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, ..

The given equations are 2x - y + z = -3 3x - 0.y - z = - 8 2x + 6y + 0.z= 2 = 2(6) +1(2) + 1(18) = 12 +2 + 18 = 32 The system has a unique solutions. A 1 1 = (0 + 6) = 6, A 1 2 = -(0 + 2) = -2, A 1 3 = 18 A 2 1 = 6, A 2 2 = -2, A 2 3 = -14 A 3 1 = 1, A 3 2 = 5, A 3 3 = 3 ..

Let A = [a ij ] be a square matrix. We can associate with the square matrix A, a determinant which is formed by exactly the same array of elements of the matrix A. A determinant formed by the same array of elements of the square matrix A is called the determinant of the square matrix A and is denot..

(i) Note that the entries in a given matrix need not be distinct. (ii) The entries in this matrix are function of x. A matrix having m rows and n columns is called as matrix of order mxn. Such a matrix has mn elements. In general, an mxn matrix is in the form Where a i j represents the ele..

If A and B are 2 matrices of the same order, then A + B is the sum of the 2 matrices where each element is got by adding corresponding elements of A and B. ..

then show that (A+B)+C = A+(B..

From (1) and (2), (A + B) + C = A + (B + C) \ The associative law is verifi..
