Matrices
• A matrix is an array of 1 3
numbers that are
arranged in rows and
columns. -½ 0
• A matrix is “square” if it
has the same number of
rows as columns. -3 8 ¼
• We will consider only
2x2 and 3x3 square 2 0 -¾
matrices

Note the difference in the matrix
Determinants and the determinant of the
matrix!

Why do we need the determinant
• It is used to help us calculate the
inverse of a matrix and it is used
when finding the area of a triangle

In words:
•Take the original matrix.
•Switch a and d.
•Change the signs of b and c.
•Multiply the new matrix by 1 over the determinant of the
original matrix
