Answer:

The determinant of an identity matrix is always 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : An identity matrix.

We have to find the determinant of an identity matrix.

Consider an identity matrix,

Identity matrix is a matrix having entry one in its diagonal and  rest all entries are zero.

Let us consider a 2 × 2 identity matrix,

I=\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&0\\0&1\end{array}\right]

We know determinant of a  2 × 2 matrix

I=\left[\begin{array}{cc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\right]

is given by

D = ad - bc

Thus, here a = 1 , b = 0 , c= 0 d= 1

Thus, D = 1 - 0 = 1

Thus, The determinant of an identity matrix is always 1.

A rectangular garden has length and width as given by the expressions below.
Tom [10]

Answer:

P = -12xy - 56y - 42x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

                                    P = 2L + 2W

P = 2(4 - 7(3x + 4y)) + 2(3x(-2y))

P = 8 - 14(3x + 4y) + 6x(-2y)

P = 8 - 42x - 56y - 12xy

                              P = -12xy - 56y - 42x + 8
