T= ( 3 15 )
___2 10
Investigate the properties of determinants:
- Show that |T| = |T’|
- Interchange any row (or column) of Tand show that the sign of
the determinant changes but not the numeric value.
- Multiply any row (or column) of T, with 3 and investigate
whether the value of the determinant changes 3 – fold.
- Investigate: If each element of a row (or column) is added to
(or subtracted from) the corresponding element of another row (or
column), the value of the determinant remains the same.
- Investigate: If one row (or column) is a multiple of another
row (or column) then the determinant is zero.
