1Given A = [[4, -1], [2, 3]] and B = [[1, 2], [-3, 0]], compute A + 2B.
A.[[6, 3], [-4, 3]]
B.[[5, 1], [-1, 3]]
C.[[9, 0], [1, 6]]
D.[[6, 3], [8, 3]]
Explanation: First scale B by 2: 2B = [[2, 4], [-6, 0]]. Then add A entrywise: A + 2B = [[4+2, -1+4], [2-6, 3+0]] = [[6, 3], [-4, 3]].
2Let A = [[2, 0], [1, -1]] and B = [[3, 1], [2, 4]]. Compute the matrix product AB.
A.[[7, -1], [8, -4]]
B.[[6, 2], [1, -3]]
C.[[6, 0], [2, -4]]
D.[[6, 2], [1, 5]]
Explanation: Multiply row by column: row 1 gives [2*3+0*2, 2*1+0*4] = [6, 2]; row 2 gives [1*3+(-1)*2, 1*1+(-1)*4] = [1, -3]. So AB = [[6, 2], [1, -3]].
3Find the determinant of the matrix A = [[5, 3], [2, 4]].
A.26
B.-14
C.14
D.-2
Explanation: For a 2x2 matrix [[a,b],[c,d]], det(A) = ad - bc. Here det(A) = 5*4 - 3*2 = 20 - 6 = 14.
4Calculate the determinant of the matrix A = [[1, 2, 3], [0, 1, 4], [5, 6, 0]] using Sarrus's rule.
A.16
B.25
C.40
D.1
Explanation: Sarrus's rule: positive diagonals sum to (1*1*0)+(2*4*5)+(3*0*6) = 0+40+0 = 40, and negative diagonals sum to (3*1*5)+(1*4*6)+(2*0*0) = 15+24+0 = 39. det(A) = 40 - 39 = 1.
5If A is a 3x3 matrix with det(A) = 5, what is det(2A)?
A.40
B.10
C.20
D.13
Explanation: For an n x n matrix and scalar k, det(kA) = k^n * det(A). Here n=3 and k=2, so det(2A) = 2^3 * 5 = 8 * 5 = 40.
6If det(A) = -3 for a square matrix A, what is det(A^T), the determinant of its transpose?
A.3
B.-3
C.-1/3
D.0
Explanation: A fundamental determinant property states det(A^T) = det(A) for any square matrix, since transposing does not change the value of the determinant. So det(A^T) = -3.
7If det(A) = 4 and det(B) = -2 for two 3x3 matrices, what is det(AB)?
A.2
B.8
C.-8
D.6
Explanation: A key property of determinants is det(AB) = det(A) * det(B). Here det(AB) = 4 * (-2) = -8.
8Find the inverse of the matrix A = [[3, 1], [5, 2]].
A.[[3, -1], [-5, 2]]
B.[[2, 1], [5, 3]]
C.[[3, 5], [1, 2]]
D.[[2, -1], [-5, 3]]
Explanation: det(A) = 3*2 - 1*5 = 1. For a 2x2 matrix [[a,b],[c,d]], A^-1 = (1/det(A)) * [[d,-b],[-c,a]] = [[2,-1],[-5,3]].
9Use Cramer's rule to solve the system x + 2y = 5, 3x + 5y = 11 for (x, y).
A.x = -3, y = 4
B.x = 3, y = -4
C.x = 4, y = -3
D.x = 3, y = 4
Explanation: The determinant D = |1,2;3,5| = 1*5-2*3 = -1. Dx = |5,2;11,5| = 25-22 = 3, so x = Dx/D = 3/(-1) = -3. Dy = |1,5;3,11| = 11-15 = -4, so y = Dy/D = -4/(-1) = 4.
10For which value of k does the system x + y + z = 1, 2x + y - z = 0, x - y + kz = 2 fail to have a unique solution?
A.5
B.-5
C.-3
D.3
Explanation: The coefficient determinant is |1,1,1;2,1,-1;1,-1,k| = (k-1) - (2k+1) + (-3) = -k-5. Setting -k-5 = 0 gives k = -5, the value at which the coefficient matrix becomes singular.
