Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the determinant of G = [[2, 1], [1, 2]]? (2021)
  • Step 1: Identify the matrix G, which is [[2, 1], [1, 2]].
  • Step 2: Write down the formula for the determinant of a 2x2 matrix, which is Det(G) = (a*d) - (b*c), where G = [[a, b], [c, d]].
  • Step 3: Assign the values from the matrix to the variables: a = 2, b = 1, c = 1, d = 2.
  • Step 4: Substitute the values into the determinant formula: Det(G) = (2*2) - (1*1).
  • Step 5: Calculate the first part: 2*2 = 4.
  • Step 6: Calculate the second part: 1*1 = 1.
  • Step 7: Subtract the second part from the first part: 4 - 1 = 3.
  • Step 8: Conclude that the determinant of G is 3.
