Gap-fill

Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

Let

$\mathrm{A} = \var{a},\;\; \mathrm{B} = \var{b},\;\; \mathrm{C} = \var{c}$

Calculate the determinants of these matrices:

$\det\left(\mathrm{A}\right) =$ Gap 0.

$\det\left(\mathrm{B}\right) =$ Gap 1.

$\det\left(\mathrm{C}\right) =$ Gap 2.

$\det\left(\mathrm{ABC}\right) =$ Gap 3.

Advice

Determinant of a $2 \times 2$ matrix

The determinant of a matrix $\mathrm{M} = \begin{pmatrix} a&b \\ c&d \end{pmatrix}$ is given by

$\det\left(\mathrm{M}\right) = ad-bc$

If we have two $n \times n$ matrices $M$ and $N$ , then

$\det\left(\mathrm{MN}\right) = \det\left(\mathrm{M}\right)\det\left(\mathrm{N}\right)$

And it follows that if we have a third matrix $P$ ,

$\det\left(\mathrm{MNP}\right) = \det\left(\mathrm{M}\right)\det\left(\mathrm{N}\right)\det\left(\mathrm{P}\right)$

a)

Thus for our example we have:

$\begin{align} \det\left(\mathrm{A}\right) &= \simplify[]{{a11}*{a22}-{a12}*{a21} = {det(a)}} \\ \det\left(\mathrm{B}\right) &= \simplify[]{{b11}*{b22}-{b12}*{b21} = {det(b)}} \\ \det\left(\mathrm{C}\right) &= \simplify[]{{c11}*{c22}-{c12}*{c21} = {det(c)}} \end{align}$

$\begin{align} \det\left( \mathrm{ABC} \right) &= \det(\mathrm{A}) \det(\mathrm{B}) \det(\mathrm{C}) \\ &= \simplify[]{{det(a)}*{det(b)}*{det(c)}} \\ &= \var{det(a*b*c)} \end{align}$

Inverse of a $2 \times 2$ matrix

Suppose $\mathrm{M} = \begin{pmatrix} a&b \\ c&d \end{pmatrix}$ is a $2 \times 2$ matrix and $\det\left(\mathrm{M}\right) = \Delta \neq 0$ .

Then $\mathrm{M}$ is invertible and

$\mathrm{M}^{-1} = \frac{1}{\Delta} \begin{pmatrix} d & -b\\ -c& a \end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix} \frac{d}{\Delta} & -\frac{b}{\Delta}\\ -\frac{c}{\Delta}& \frac{a}{\Delta} \end{pmatrix}$

Applying this to these examples we obtain:

b)

$\simplify[fractionnumbers]{matrix:A^(-1)={inverse(a)}}$

c)

$\simplify[fractionnumbers]{matrix:B^(-1)={inverse(b)}}$

d)

$\simplify[fractionnumbers]{matrix:C^(-1)={inverse(c)}}$
