1 00:00:01,459 --> 00:00:06,399 As a hint, I'll take the determinant of a very similar two by two matrix. 2 00:00:06,399 --> 00:00:10,514 So we wanna figure out the determinant of this matrix and we can denote it 3 00:00:10,514 --> 00:00:13,371 by the determinant of the 2x2 matrix five, 4 00:00:13,371 --> 00:00:17,642 three,negative one and four 5 00:00:17,642 --> 00:00:21,892 and the definition of determinant of the 2x2 matrix like this, as we can first take 6 00:00:21,892 --> 00:00:24,888 this diagonal, five times four 7 00:00:24,888 --> 00:00:29,532 so write it down, just going to be equal to 8 00:00:29,532 --> 00:00:35,777 5 * 4 minus of product of that diagonal 9 00:00:45,792 --> 00:00:46,721 ...so what is this 10 00:00:46,721 --> 00:00:50,347 give us? So, five times four is twenty 11 00:00:50,347 --> 00:00:55,362 and then three times negative one will be negative three 12 00:00:55,362 --> 00:00:57,521 this is negative three... 13 00:00:57,521 --> 00:01:01,771 but making negative the negative three will make the positive three 14 00:01:02,969 --> 00:01:08,397 so the determinant of this matrix is twenty three.
