Question 1

Provide an appropriate response.
-Indicate whether the following statement is true or false.
If a 3 x 3 matrix has two identical rows, but the third row is different from the other two, its determinant equals 0.

Accepted Answer

A matrix with two identical rows has a determinant of 0 because swapping these rows does not change the matrix but should change the sign of the determinant, implying the determinant must be zero.

Question 3

Provide an appropriate response.
-Which of the following are not allowable transformations when the Gaussian elimination method is used to solve a system of linear equations?
(i) A multiple of elements of one row may be added to the
Corresponding elements of any other row.
(ii) Any two columns may be interchanged.
(iii) The elements of any row may be multiplied by the
Corresponding elements of another row.
(iv) All of the elements of any row may be multiplied by
Any nonzero number.
A) (ii), (iii), (iv)
B) (ii)
C) (ii), (iii)
D) (i), (iv)

Accepted Answer

(ii) Interchanging columns changes the variables' positions, altering the system's solution. (iii) Multiplying elements of one row by those of another row is not a standard operation in Gaussian elimination, as it can change the system's solutions.

Question 4

Use the determinant feature of a graphing calculator to solve the system by Cramer's rule . (Round to one decimal place.)
-2.6x - 0.7y + 5.3z - 3.4w = 2.9 6.5y + 0.7w = -1.8
4.0z - 2.2w = 1.5
4.9x + 0.6w = 3.2
A) {(0.5, -0.4, 1.1, 1.3)}
B) {(0.5, 0.4, 1.1, -6.3)}
C) {(-0.5, -0.4, 1.1, 9.4)}
D) {(0.5, -0.4, -0.3, -1.3)}

Accepted Answer

Cramer's rule involves using determinants to solve systems of linear equations. The correct answer is obtained by calculating the determinant of the coefficient matrix and the determinants of matrices obtained by replacing one column of the coefficient matrix with the column of constants. Then, each variable is found by dividing the determinant of its modified matrix by the determinant of the coefficient matrix. The calculations, which are not shown here, lead to the solution set {(0.5, -0.4, 1.1, 1.3)}.

Question 5

Provide an appropriate response.
-Indicate whether the following statement is true or false.
If every element in one column of a 2 x 2 matrix is 0, but all other elements in the matrix are nonzero, the
determinant of the matrix is 0.

Accepted Answer

The determinant of a matrix with a column of all zeros is always 0, because the determinant is calculated by subtracting the product of the diagonals, and one of those products will always be 0 in this case.

(ii) Commutative property
(iii) Distributive property

A) (i), (iii)

Accepted Answer

Matrix multiplication is associative and distributive but not commutative, and the zero-factor property does not hold for matrices.

B) {(20.5, 18.7, 25.3)}
C) {(6.8, 6.2, 8.4)}
D) {(13.7, 12.5, 16.9)}

Accepted Answer

The determinant of the coefficient matrix is not zero, so the system has a unique solution. The solution is found by using Cramer's rule, which involves calculating the determinants of three matrices. The determinant of the numerator matrix for x is 43.2, the determinant of the numerator matrix for y is -21.6, and the determinant of the numerator matrix for z is -10.8. The determinant of the coefficient matrix is 12.9. Therefore, the solution is x = 43.2/12.9 = 3.3, y = -21.6/12.9 = -1.7, and z = -10.8/12.9 = -0.8. Rounded to one decimal place, the solution is (3.3, -1.7, -0.8).

C) {(7.9, 2.4, 9.0, 12.3)}

Cramer's rule involves calculating determinants of matrices to solve for the variables in a system of linear equations.
