Real life Applications of

Determinants
By Aniket Prakash Xiith A
What are determinants?
 The determinant is a scalar value that  In particular, the determinant is nonzero
is a function of the entries of a square if and only if the matrix is invertible and
matrix. the linear map represented by the matrix
is an isomorphism.
 It allows characterizing some
properties of the matrix and the linear
map represented by the matrix.

Representation of
Determinants
 In the case of a 2 × 2 matrix Similarly, for a 3 × 3
the determinant can be matrix A, its determinant is
defined as
 Thedeterminant of a
matrix A is
denoted det(A), det A, or |A|.

Applications
✔ It is used in business applications ,sprang from ancient
times between and determine the problem solving
systems,subtraction of the internet it makes use of.
✔ Matrix Cramer’s is used in business problems solving
accounts
✔ The equilibrium of markets in the IS-LM model is solved
by using determinants and matrix

Applications in
physics
✔ In the physics of optics, matrices are used to
determine reflection and refraction. In
addition to their use in electrical circuits,
matrixes are also useful in quantum
mechanics and resistor conversions.
✔ In electric circuits, matrices are used to solve
AC networks equations

Determinants in Linear
Equation
✔ It is used to solve linear equations
quickly when there are more than 2
variables.

To calculate Volume of the
Parallelepiped
 The determinant gives  It is also
the volume of the useful for
parallelepiped whose understandin
edges are the rows of a g the 'cross

interpretation is often mechanics.
useful when computing
multidimensional
integrals.

 Determinants used to calculate
Area of Triangle
✔ Area of triangle can be
found using the concept
of determinants when
the vertices of the
triangle are given.

Other Applications

✔ Determinants can show up in any field which can solve

many problems. They are used for plotting graphs,
statistics and also to do scientific studies and research in
almost different fields
