    Study Notes

    Cramer's Rule

    • Cramer's Rule is a method for solving systems of linear equations.
    • Cramer's Rule can only be used for systems of linear equations with the same number of equations as variables.
    • The determinant of the coefficient matrix must not be zero for Cramer's Rule to apply.
    • The solution for each variable is found by replacing the corresponding column of the matrix with the constant vector.

    Using Cramer's Rule

    • Cramer's Rule is not applicable to all matrices.
    • Cramer's rule cannot be used on non-square matrices, nor matrices with a determinant of zero.
