Q.1 (B)(ii) Find the value of the determinant \(\begin{vmatrix} 5 & 3 \\ -2 & 4 \end{vmatrix}\).
Q.1 (B)(ii) Find the value of the determinant \(\begin{vmatrix} 5 & 3 \\ -2 & 4 \end{vmatrix}\).
Best answer
Answer: 26
\(\begin{vmatrix} 5 & 3 \\ -2 & 4 \end{vmatrix} = (5 \times 4) - (3 \times -2) = 20 + 6 = 26\).
