What are the use of matrix and determinant in engineering?
Ajay1990
Matrix and determinants are actually very useful in engineering. I am going to give you a good personal example. I am a chemical engineering student, and when I took my final this past semester for my chemical processes class one of the problems had certain substances going into a reactor and came out of the reactor as different chemicals (they reacted). As part of the procedure used to determine the mass of the outcoming materials you do a mass balance (actually I did an atomic balance because atoms can not be created nor destroyed), in my mass balance I had three equations and two unknowns. At the time I was taking an engineering math course where I learned about matrices and determinants, therefore with what I learned I placed my equations as a "system of matrices" one on top of the others and reduced to "row echelon form" and was able to find all masses individual for each of the compounds. I hope this helped, and if you have any questions dont hesitate to consult with me....Chem Boy.

What is the determinant rank of the determinant of 123456 its a 2 x 3 matrix?
A determinant is defined only for square matrices, so a 2x3 matrix does not have a determinant.Determinants are defined only for square matrices, so a 2x3 matrix does not have a determinant.
What is the determinant of a 2x3 matrix?
The determinant function is only defined for an nxn (i.e. square) matrix. So by definition of the determinant it would not exist for a 2x3 matrix.
How to find x in a 2×2 matrix with a given determinant.?
For a matrix A, A is read as determinant of A and not, as modulus of A. ... sum of two or more elements, then the given determinant can be expressed as the sum
Determinant of test?
The determinant of test is usually a scalar quantity. The determinant of a matrix is used to test whether a given matrix has an inverse or not. It is used to test for the linear dependence of the vectors.
What is the determinant of matrix image?
1
If two rows of a matrix are interchanged what is true of the resulting determinant?
The determinant will change sign.
What is the determinant of a 2x1 matrix?
The determinant is only defined for square matrices.
Determinant of four-by-three matrix?
undefined
How do you find the determinant of a square matrix?
233
What is the determinant of an idempotent matrix?
0 or 1
Does every square matrix have an inverse?
No. A square matrix has an inverse if and only if its determinant is nonzero.
What is the minor of determinant?
The minor is the determinant of the matrix constructed by removing the row and column of a particular element. Thus, the minor of a34 is the determinant of the matrix which has all the same rows and columns, except for the 3rd row and 4th column.
