HOMEWORK CHAPTER 5 (3)

1. Use the method of Evaluation of Determinants I to evaluate the determinant.

2. Evaluate the determinant using a cofactor expansion by a row and again by a column
(Evaluation of Determinants II)

3. A system of simultaneous equations is given below.

 Rewrite this equation in the matrix form: AX=B.
 Determine the determinant of the matrix | A|.
 Find the inverse matrix A-1 using the determinant.
 Solve the system using Cramer’s rule
5x1 - 6x2 + x3 = 4
-x1 + 3x2 -4x3 = 5
2x1 +3x2 + x3 = -8
