Activity 5 Determinants and Its Properties-1

1. This document provides instructions for Laboratory Activity No. 5 on determinants and their properties. The activity aims to teach students how to calculate determinants using different methods like cofactor expansion and row operations. 2. Students are asked to find the determinants of several 3x3 matrices using methods like cross-multiplication, cofactor expansion, and elementary row operations. They are also asked to calculate properties of determinants like the determinant of a matrix product or inverse. 3. The document explains key properties of determinants such as how the determinant of a matrix product is equal to the product of the individual determinants, and how a matrix is invertible if and only if its determinant is not equal to 0

2.1 Demonstrate scientific thinking and the ability to approach scientific resources intelligently.
2.2 Utilize MATLAB software in solving linear algebra problems related to their fields of specialization.
2.3 Infer appropriate conclusions based upon the results of the activity.

competence and critical thinking skills.

3. Discussion:

The determinant is a value associated with a square matrix, that is a matrix with as many rows as
columns. It can be calculated from the elements of the matrix by a specific arithmetic expression. The
determinant provides important information in many types of problems, for example, when the matrix
represent the coefficientsof a system of linear equations.
The symbol det(A)= = − which consists of the four numbers a1, b1, a2, b2 arranged in
two rows and two columns is called a determinant of second order or of order two.

The determinant is a number associated with any square matrix; to be written as det A or |A|. The
determinant encodes a lot of information about the matrix; the matrix is invertible exactly when the
determinant is non-zero. There are important properties of determinants:

1. Determinant of a matrix product.If A and B are square matrices of order n, then det(AB) = det(A)
det(B). (MATLAB command is “ det(A) ” for determinant of matrix (A)
2. Determinant of a scalar multiple of a matrix. If A is an n x n matrix and c is a scalar, then the
determinant of cA is given by det(cA) = cndet(A)
3. Determinant of an invertible matrix A square matrix is invertible (non singular) if and only if
det(A)≠0
4. Determinant of an inverse matrix, If A is invertible then, det(A-1) = 1/det(A)
5. If A is a square matrix, then det(A) = det(AT)
