DETERMINANTS: A determinant is a square array of numbers (written within a pair of vertical lines) which represents a certain sum of We can solve a system of equations using determinants, but it becomes very tedious for large systems. We will only do 2 × 2 and 3 × 3 systems using determinants. Using the properties of determinants solve the problem given below and answer the questions that follow:
