  • Introduction to determinants:
    • Determinants are a mathematical concept used to solve systems of linear equations.
    • They provide valuable information about the properties of a matrix.
  • Definition of determinants for 2x2 and 3x3 matrices:
    • For a 2x2 matrix A = [[a, b], [c, d]], the determinant is given by |A| = ad - bc.
    • For a 3x3 matrix A = [[a, b, c], [d, e, f], [g, h, i]], the determinant is given by |A| = a(ei - fh) - b(di - fg) + c(dh - eg).
  • Properties of determinants:
    • The determinant of a matrix changes sign when the rows and columns are interchanged.
    • If matrix A has two equal rows or columns, then its determinant is zero.
    • The determinant of a matrix is zero if one row or column is a linear combination of the other rows or columns.

Slide 12

  • Cramer’s Rule for solving a system of linear equations using determinants:
    • Cramer’s Rule is a method used to solve a system of linear equations by expressing the solutions in terms of determinants.
    • It involves finding the determinants of coefficient matrix and the matrix obtained by replacing the values of unknowns with the constant terms.
  • Example 1: Solving a system of equations using Cramer’s Rule:
    • Let’s consider the system of equations:
      • 3x + 2y = 7
      • 2x + y = 4
    • We can solve this using Cramer’s Rule.
  • Example 2: Determining if a system of equations has a unique solution using Cramer’s Rule:
    • We can use Cramer’s Rule to determine if a system of equations has a unique solution or not.

Slide 13

  • Example 3: Solving a system of equations with no solution using Cramer’s Rule:

    • Cramer’s Rule can also be used to determine if a system of equations has no solution.

  • Example 4: Solving a system of equations with infinitely many solutions using Cramer’s Rule:

    • Cramer’s Rule can also be used to determine if a system of equations has infinitely many solutions.

  • Advantages and limitations of Cramer’s Rule:

    • Advantages:
      • Cramer’s Rule provides an algebraic method to solve systems of linear equations.
      • It can handle systems with any number of unknowns.
    • Limitations:
      • Cramer’s Rule becomes computationally expensive as the size of the system increases.
      • It may not work well for systems with a large number of unknowns due to the large number of determinants to be evaluated.
