    Study Notes

    Matrix Determinant

    • The determinant of a matrix characterizes the scalability and invertibility of a matrix.
    • The determinant of a matrix is nonzero if the matrix is invertible and has no linearly dependent rows or columns.

    Calculating Determinant of 2 × 2 Matrix

    • The determinant of a 2 × 2 matrix is calculated as ad - bc, where a and b are the elements of the first row, and c and d are the elements of the second row.

    Determinant Formula

    • The determinant is expressed as a sum of signed products of matrix entries, known as the Leibniz formula.

    Computing Determinant using Row Operations

    • The determinant of a matrix can be computed using row operations, which involve adding multiples of one row to another row, or multiplying a row by a non-zero scalar.

    Work and Force

    • Positive work is done when a force has a component in the direction of the displacement.
    • Negative work is done when a force opposes the displacement, such as when a force is applied in the opposite direction of the displacement.

    Calculating Work

    • When the force and the angle between the force and displacement are constant, work is calculated as W = Fd cos(θ), where W is the work, F is the force, d is the displacement, and θ is the angle between the force and displacement.

    Nature of Work

    • If the force is variable, work is calculated as the integral of the force with respect to displacement.
    • Work is a scalar quantity, meaning it has only magnitude and no direction.
