The determinant for the above matrix is zero. What is the value of x?
Correct Answer
0
Explanation
ad-bc = 0 ... so ... substitute the values into the determinant formuata and isolate the x.
12.
I have a 2x2 matrix A with a determinant that is not zero. B is 1x2 matrix. I is the identity matrix.

A times it's inverse is always I - the identity matrix.
A x the inverse of A = the inverse of A x A = I
13.
If we call the matrix above 'A', does the inverse of A exist?
Correct Answer
B. No
Explanation
An inverse exists only for square matrices with a determinant that is not zero. If the determinant is zero, there is no inverse. If the matrix represents a pair of simultaneous equations, it means they are either inconsistent (parallel) or dependent (the same equation).

The determinant for the above matrix is 15. What is the value of x?
Correct Answer
-1
Explanation
ad-bc = 0 ... so ... substitute the values into the determinant formuata and isolate the x.

Select all the statements which are true below
Correct Answer(s)
A. Only square matrices have an inverse
C. All Matrices with a determinant that is not zero have an inverse
E. All Matrices with a determinant of zero have no inverse
21.
Matrix A and Matrix D are equal matrices
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation
The statement "Matrix A and Matrix D are equal matrices" is false. This means that Matrix A and Matrix D are not equal to each other. They may have different dimensions, different elements, or both.
22.
The determinant for the matrix above is 44. The missing number is a value between 1 and 5 inclusive. What is the missing value
Correct Answer
5
Explanation
Trial and error. You don't know how to find the determinant manually, so you simply create the matrix, then substitute 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 into the missing space. Using the det() command is the fastest way to do it. It's faster than the Inverse App if you simply put your matrix inside the brackets.
23.
P is a row matrix.
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation
The given statement is "P is a row matrix." The correct answer is False. This means that P is not a row matrix. A row matrix is a matrix with only one row. Since the statement says that P is a row matrix, but the correct answer is False, it implies that P is not a row matrix, meaning it has more than one row.
24.
AK is undefined, but KA is defined.
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
This statement implies that there is a difference in the definitions of AK and KA. While KA is defined, meaning there is a clear understanding or explanation for it, AK is undefined, suggesting that there is no known definition or explanation for it. Therefore, the statement is true, as it confirms that KA is defined while AK is not.
25.
The determinant for the matrix above is 26. The missing number is a value between 0 and 5 inclusive. What is the missing value?
Correct Answer
2
Explanation
Trial and error.
You can use algebra to solve this but its faster to use the det() command and just substitute the one missing value in each time. It's faster than the Inverse App if you simply put your matrix inside the brackets.
26.
AK is undefined, but KA is defined.
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
The statement suggests that the value of AK is undefined, meaning it does not have a specific value assigned to it. On the other hand, KA is defined, indicating that it has a specific value assigned. Therefore, the statement is true because it states a valid comparison between the undefined value of AK and the defined value of KA.
27.
Matrix K has a determinant of 3.
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation
Only a square matrix can have an inverse, and therefore on square matrices have a determinant.
28.
The product matrix of DA will be a 2x3 matrix
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation
3x2 & 2x2 = will give a 3x2 not a 2x3
29.
The element could be the value 5.
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation
D is a 3x2 matrix, which would have no value d2,3 as there are not 3 columns.
30.

Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
3x2 & 2x2 = will give a 3x2 not a 2x3
