Evaluate each determinant. 1. 2. 3.
Given the system of equations with the coefficient matrix: The determinant of The x coefficients are The y coefficients are the coefficient matrix replaced with the replaced with the constants constants
Cramer’s Rule for a System: • Given the system of linear equations: If the D 0, then the system has exactly one solution. The solution is: *Note: If D = 0, the system has either no solution or infinitely many solutions.
Use Cramer’s Rule to solve the system. • 5. D= D= Dx= Dx= Dy= Dy= Point of Intersection: Point of Intersection:
