How can you solve if the determinant of 3 by 3 matrix is 2?
It isn't clear what you want to solve for. If you want to find the matrix, there is not a unique solution - there are infinitely many matrices with the same determinant.
What is meant by the determinant of a math equation?
A single math equation does not have a determinant. A system of equations (3x3 , 4x4, etc.) will have a determinant. You can find a determinant of a system by converting the system into a corresponding matrix and finding its determinant.
Do all matrices have determinant?
Only square matrices have a determinant
What determines the nature of the roots of a quadratic equation?
The determinant.The determinant is the part under the square root of the quadratic equation and is:b2-4ac where your quadratic is of the form: ax2+bx+cIf the determinant is less than zero then you have 'no real solutions' (as the square root of a negative number is imaginary.)If the determinant is = 0, then you have one real solution (because you can discount the square root of the quadratic equation)If the determinant is greater than zero you have two real solutions as you have (-b PLUS OR MINUS the square root of the determinant) all over 2aTo find the solutions where they exist you'll need to solve the quadratic formula or use another method.
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.
