Question: How many three letter words (with or without meaning) can be formed out of the letters of the word LOGARITHMS if repetition of letters is not allowed? Answer: Number of letters in the word LOGARITHMS is 10. The three letter words formed ..

[A i j ] where A i j is the co-factor of the element a i j . Adjoint of A is denoted by Adj A. Note that the concept of adj is only for square matrix. A square matrix A is said to be non-singular if |A| 0. Let A be a square matrix of order n. If there exists a square matrix B of order n, such that ..

Question: Ten different letters of an alphabet are given. Words with five letters are formed from these given letters. Find the number of words which have atleast one letter repeated. Answer: Total number of 5 letter words from given 10 letters = 10 5 (if ..

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

A square matrix A=[a i j ] n x n is called an identity or unit matrix if (2) a i j =1 for all i = j In other words a square matrix each of whose diagonal elements is unity and each of whose non-diagonal elements is equal to zero is called an identity or unit matrix. The identity ..

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 ..

Permutations - 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..

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..
