symbols used in math

The different arrangements that can be made with a given number of things taking some or all of them at a time are called permutations. The symbol n P r or P(n,r) is used to denote the number of permutations of n things taken r at a tim..

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

Determinants - 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..

Using matrix method solve the following systems of linear equations 2x - y + z = -3 3x - z = - 8 2x + 6y ..

Using matrix method, solve the following system of linear equations x + y + z = 6 (1) x + 2y + 3z = 14 (2) x + 4y + 7z = 30 ..

We have seen the application of matrices and determinants in solving system of linear equation with three unknown variables. Matrices and determinants are also widely used in solving large system of linear equation. Some of these methods are Gauss-elimination method, Gauss-Jordan method e..

Consider the arrangement In this arrangement, there are two rows and four columns. The number 3 lies in the 2 n d row and 4 t h column. Each number has a fixed position. Matrix A has 2 rows and 3 columns and is thus of order 2 x 3. Matrix B has 3 rows and 2 columns and is thus of order 3 x 2. The p..

Let A be a matrix of order mxn. Let B be a matrix of order nxp. Then the product of the matrices A and B is of order mxp. i.e., when we multiply two matrices the number of columns of the first matrix should be equal to the number of rows of the second matrix. Two matrices can be multiplied by ..

Question: The sides AB, BC, CA of a triangle ABC have 3, 4 and 5 interior points respectively on them. Find the number of triangles that can be drawn using these points as vertices. Answer: The points 3+4+5=12 points lie in a plane. To construct a triangle, we require three no..
