Determinants • What is the use of the determinant? • The determinant tells us if there is no solutions/infinitely many or exactly one solution. • Given this system of equations, what is the determinant? • ax+by=ecx+dy=f • The determinant is a*d – b*c
Determinants • What is the determinants of the following systems of linear equations? • x= -9-3x=4 • -8x+3y=-245x+2y=15 • 4x-5y=-136x-7y=-5
x= -9-3x=4 (-8)*2 – 3*5 = -31 • -8x+3y=-245x+2y=15 4*(-7) – (-5)*6 = 58 • 4x-5y=-136x-7y=-5 1*0 – (-3)*0 = 0
Determinants • Now what does the determinant number mean? • IF the determinant (a*d – b*c) is ZERO • THEN the system of linear equations has no solution or it has infinitely many. • This means that the lines are either PARALLEL or they are the SAME line. • IF the determinant (a*d – b*c) is NON-ZERO • THEN the system of linear equations has exactly one solution. • This means that the two lines intersect!
Parallel Lines • Parallel lines will have a determinant of ZERO. • Take this system of linear equations • -6x+3y=9-12x+6y=-6 • (-6)*6 – 3*(-12)= 0 • This system is graphedto the right.
Same Line • Systems of linear equations that are the same line have a determinant of ZERO • Take the system, for example. • 2x+3y=94x+6y=18 • 2*6 – 3*4 = 0 • This system is graphedto the right
Intersection • Systems of linear equations that intersect have a determinant that is NON-ZERO. • Take this system, for example. • 4x+6y=-36x-2y=2 • 4*(-2) – 6*6=-44 • This system is graphedto the right.
