What have you learned about E.O. and Determinants? • Q1: Why can every invertible matrix be represented by mutiplications of elementary matrices? • Q2: How is determinant related to systems of linear equations?
Geometry of Determinants: Determinants as Size Functions • We have so far only considered whether or not a determinant is zero, here we shall give a meaning to the value of that determinant. One way to compute the area that it encloses is to draw this rectangle and subtract the area of each subregion.
The region formed by and is bigger, by a factor of k, than the shaded region enclosed by and . That is, size ( , ) = k ·size( , ) and in general we expect of the size measure that size(. . . , , . . . ) = k ·size(. . . , , . . . ). • The properties in the definition of determinants make reasonable postulates for a function that measures the size of the region enclosed by the vectors in the matrix. See this case:
Another property of determinants is that they are unaffected by pivoting. Here are before-pivoting and after-pivoting boxes (the scalar used is • k = 0.35). Although the region on the right, the box formed by and , is more slanted than the shaded region, the two have the same base and the same height and hence the same area. This illustrates that
That is, we’ve got an intuitive justification to interpret det ( , . . . , ) as the size of the box formed by the vectors. Example The volume of this parallelepiped, which can be found by the usual formula from high school geometry, is 12.
The only difference between them is in the order in which the vectors are taken. If we take first and then go to , follow the counterclockwise are shown, then the sign is positive. Following a clockwise are gives a negative sign. The sign returned by the size function reflects the ‘orientation’ or ‘sense’ of the box.
Volume, because it is an absolute value, does not depend on the order in which the vectors are given. The volume of the parallelepiped in the following example, can also be computed as the absolute value of this determinant. The definition of volume gives a geometric interpretation to something in the space, boxes made from vectors.
