  4. Programme 4: Determinants Determinants Solving the two simultaneous equations: results in: which has a solution provided

  5. Programme 4: Determinants Determinants There is a shorthand notation for . It is: The symbol: (evaluated by cross multiplication as ) Is called a second-order determinant; second-order because it has two rows and two columns.

  6. Programme 4: Determinants Determinants Therefore: That is:

  7. Programme 4: Determinants Determinants The three determinants: can be obtained from the two equations as follows:

  8. Programme 4: Determinants Determinants The equations: can then be written as:

  10. Programme 4: Determinants Determinants of third order A third-order determinant has three rows and three columns. Each element of the determinant has an associated minor – a second order determinant obtained by eliminating the row and column to which it is common. For example:

  11. Programme 4: Determinants Determinants of third order Evaluation of a third-order determinant about the first row To expand a third-order determinant about the first row we multiply each element of the row by its minor and add and subtract the products as follows:

  12. Programme 4: Determinants Determinants of third order Evaluation of a determinant about any row or column To expand a determinant about the any row or column we multiply each element of the row or column by its minor and add and subtract the products according to the pattern:

  14. Programme 4: Determinants Simultaneous equations in three unknowns The equations: have solution: More easily remembered as:

  15. Programme 4: Determinants Simultaneous equations in three unknowns where: from the equations:

  17. Programme 4: Determinants Consistency of a set of equations The three equations in two unknowns are consistent if they possess a common solution. That is: have a common solution and are, therefore, consistent if:

  19. Programme 4: Determinants Properties of determinants • The value of a determinant remains unchanged if rows are changed to • columns and columns changed to rows:

  20. Programme 4: Determinants Properties of determinants 2. If two rows (or columns) are interchanged, the sign of the determinant is changed:

  21. Programme 4: Determinants Properties of determinants 3. If two rows (or columns) are identical, the value of the determinant is zero:

  22. Programme 4: Determinants Properties of determinants 4. If the elements of any one row (or column) are all multiplied by a common factor, the determinant is multiplied by that factor:

  23. Programme 4: Determinants Properties of determinants 5. If the elements of any one row (or column) are increased by equal multiples of the corresponding elements of any other row (or column), the value of the determinant is unchanged:

  24. Programme 4: Determinants Learning outcomes • Expand a 2 × 2 determinant • Solve pairs of simultaneous equations in two variables using 2 × 2 determinants • Expand a 3 × 3 determinant • Solve three simultaneous equations in three variables using 3 × 3 determinants • Determine the consistency of sets of simultaneous linear equations • Use the properties of determinants to solve equations written in determinant form
