Determinants

Matrix
• A matrix is an array of
numbers that are 1 3
arranged in rows and
columns. -½ 0

• A matrix is “square” if -3 8 ¼
it has the same number
of rows as columns. 2 0 -¾

4 180 11
Determinants
• Every square matrix has
a determinant. 1 3
• The determinant of a
-½ 0
matrix is a number.
• The determinant of a
matrix is represented by
two vertical lines or -3 8 ¼
simply by writing det
2 0 -¾
and writing the matrix
name. eg. |A|, det(A), 4 180 11
det A
Why do we need the determinant
• It is used to help us calculate the inverse of a
matrix and it is used when finding the area of
a triangle.
• The determinant of a matrix is connected to its
eigenvalues.
• Cramer's Rule is a method for solving systems
of linear equations using determinants.
Finding Determinants of Matrices
(For 2× 2 𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑥)

3 2 Notice the different symbol of


Matrix and Determinants.
−5 4 The straight lines tell you to find
the determinant!!

3 2
= (3 * 4) - (-5 * 2)
−5 4
= 12 - (-10)
= 22
Finding Determinants of Matrices
(For 3× 3 𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑥)

2 0 3 2 0
1 −2 5 1 -2
−1 4 2 -1 4

= [(2)(-2)(2) + (0)(5)(-1) + (3)(1)(4)]


- [(3)(-2)(-1) + (2)(5)(4) + (0)(1)(2)]
= [-8 + 0 +12] - [6 + 40 + 0]
= 4 – 6 - 40 = -42
Inverse of a Matrix

[A square matrix A is said to be singular if


|A|=0. A is nonsingular if |A|0. We cannot find
inverse of a singular matrix.]

Real Life Example:
You have $10,000 to invest. You want to invest the money
in a stock mutual fund, a bond mutual fund, and a money
market fund. The expected annual returns for these funds
are given in the table.
You want your investment to obtain an overall annual return
of 8%. A financial planner recommends that you invest the
same amount in stocks as in bonds and the money market
combined. How much should you invest in each fund?

To isolate the variable matrix, RIGHT multiply by the inverse of A
−1 −1
A AX = A B

X=A B
Solution: ( 5000, 2500, 2500)
