Recall

Matrix operations, inverse and determinants — objective 1

Maths4U Original · Short practice

\(A=\left[\begin{matrix}11 & 1\\2 & 12\end{matrix}\right],\ v=\left[\begin{matrix}10\\12\end{matrix}\right]\). Matrices act on column vectors.

Find det A.

Enter one number or fraction. Use at least six decimal places when needed; a distribution calculator may be used for probabilities.
