- Examining Cramer's Rule, explain why there is no unique solution to the system when the determinant of your matrix is O. For simplicity, use a 22 .arrow_forwardTrue or False ? a To find the determinant of a triangular matrix, add the entries on the main diagonal. b To find the determinant of a matrix, expand by cofactors in any row or column. c When expanding by cofactors, you need not evaluate the cofactors of zero entries.arrow_forwardEntries Involving Expressions In Exercises 55-62, evaluate the determinant, in which the entries are functions. Determinants of this type occur when changes of variables are made in calculus. |e2xe3x2e2x33x|arrow_forward
