Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

price of 1 pen= $ 2

price of 1 pencil= $1

total money spent= $12

Let the number of pen be a and number of pencil be b.

 2 a + b = 12   ----------------Equation 1

We have, she bought 3 more pens than pencils

  a - b = 3   ------------------  Equation 2

 Equation 1 +Equation 2,  

   2 a + b +  a - b = 12 + 3

                     3a = 15

                     a = 5

 Substituting in  equation

           5 - b = 3

               b = 2

 Number pencils Ava bought = 2

If the value of third order determinant is 11. Then what is the value of the determinant formed by its cofactors.
nordsb [41]

Answer:

146.41

Step-by-step explanation:

third order determinant = determinant of 3×3 matrix A

given ∣A∣=11

det (cofactor matrix of A) =set (transpare of cofactor amtrix of A) (transpare does not change the det)

=det(adjacent of A)

{det (cofactor matrix of A)}  ^2  = {det (adjacent of A)} ^2

 

(Using for an n×n det (cofactor matrix of A)=det (A)^n−1 )

we get

det (cofactor matrix of A)^2  = {det(A)  ^3−1 }^2

 

=(11)^2×2  = 11^4

 =146.41
