Hint
State the column-vector convention and order of composition. Take the absolute determinant of the transformation.
Worked solution
(a)
\(|\det A|=130\)
Answer: \(130\).
Answer: \(130\)
(b)
\(\displaystyle 10m+ 11m^{2}= 13m\implies m= \frac{13- 10}{11}= \frac{3}{11}\)
Answer: \(\displaystyle \frac{3}{11}\).
Answer: \(\displaystyle \frac{3}{11}\)
(c)
\(AB=\left[\begin{matrix}21 & 11\\13 & 13\end{matrix}\right]\)
Answer: \(21\).
Answer: \(21\)
