MATLAB ACTIVITY 4 – Determinant Using MATLAB

A. Use the det( ) built-in function to find the determinants of the following matrices. Write the MATLAB SYNTAX
you used and MATLAB out put on the space provided

1 1 1
1. A  1 1 1 det A = ____________
1 1 1

MATLAB SYNTAX MATLAB OUTPUT

A=[-1 1 1 ; -1 -1 1 ; 1 1 -1]

det(A)

7 6 5 4
6 5 4 3
2. A det A = ____________
5 4 3 2
4 3 2 1

MATLAB SYNTAX MATLAB OUTPUT

A=[7 6 5 4 ; 6 5 4 3 ; 5 4 3 2 ; 4 3 2 1]

det(A)

1 2 0 
3.
 
If is A  3 4 0 create a matrix B whose entries are three times the difference of an identity matrix of
 
0 0 5
order 3 and matrix A. What are the entries in B and its determinant? B=_______________

determinant of B____

B=[0 60 0]

C=[0 0 60]

D=[0 0 0]

[A 1;B 1;C 1;D 1]

V=1/6.*(det([A 1 ; B 1 ; C 1 ; D 1]))

3. Mr. Cruz would like to buy a lot however, his broker gave the dimension of the lot using the vertices (0, 4), (0,-2) (20, 4) and
(10, -2). What would be the total area of the lot that Mr. Cruz will be buying?
