Question

What is the solution for the determinant?

Answer 1

The value of the determinant of a 2x2 matrix is the product of the top-left and bottom-right terms minus the product of the top-right and bottom-left terms.

The value of the determinant of a 2x2 matrix is the product of the top-left and bottom-right terms minus the product of the top-right and bottom-left terms.

= [ (1)(-3)] - [ (7)(0) ]
= -3 - 0
= -3

Therefore, the determinant is -3.

Hope this helps!
