Determinant Math 112, week 7 Goals: • Cramer’s rule. • A formula for the inverse of a matrix. • Determinant as area or volume. Suggested Textbook Readings: Sections §3.3 Week 7: Determinant 2 Cramer’s rule Let A be an invertible n×n matrix. Then the unique solution ~x of A~x = ~b is given by det Ai (~b) , det A i ~ · · · b · · · ~an xi = h ~ where Ai (b) = ~a1 i = 1, 2, · · · , n Example 1: Solve the system by Cramer’s rule. 2x1 + x2 + x3 = 0 x1 − x2 + 5x3 = 0 x2 − x3 = 4 Week 7: Determinant 3 Example 2: Suppose s is an unspecified parameter. Determine the values of s for which the system has a unique solution, and use Cramer’s rule to describe the solution.
