Matrix A and Determinant

Matrix A is defined as:
```
| 1 4 2 |
| 0 3 1 |
| 2 1 0 |
```
The order of matrix A is 3x3, indicating it has 3 rows and 3 columns.
Sarrus’ rule can be applied to compute the determinant of A, which is a method specific for 3x3 matrices.
A matrix is invertible if its determinant is non-zero; thus, evaluating the determinant will determine invertibility.
The minor associated with element a23 (the element in the second row, third column) is calculated by removing the 2nd row and 3rd column and finding the determinant of the resulting 2x2 matrix.
The co-factor of an element is the minor multiplied by (-1) raised to the power of the sum of the row and column indices of that element.

Vector Algebra with A

For vector v defined as:
```
| 1 |
| 2 |
| 3 |
```
The matrix product vA exists if the number of columns in vector v matches the number of rows in A; here, they are compatible.
The product Av can be computed by matrix multiplication rules: rows of A are multiplied with the vector v.
The scalar product (dot product) of a vector v with itself gives the sum of the squares of its components.
The vector w is calculated by linear combination of vector v and the first column of matrix A, which is crucial in vector algebra.
The magnitude of vector w is determined using the formula for the length of a vector, which involves taking the square root of the sum of the squares of its components.

Differentiation and Integration

Differentiation of functions involves applying rules of calculus to find the rate of change with respect to variable x.
For implicit differentiation of a given equation, dy/dx is found by differentiating both sides with respect to x and simplifying appropriately.
The definite integral of a function, such as sin(x)cos^4(x), requires applying integration techniques, often including substitution or integration by parts, over specified limits.

Complex Numbers

For complex numbers Z1 = 1 + 2i and Z2 = 4 - 3i, operations include:
- Addition: Summing the real and imaginary parts.
- Multiplication: Using the distributive property to expand the product.
- Division: Involves multiplying the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator to simplify.
To find a complex number Z from an equation involving products, algebraic manipulation is used to isolate Z.
Raising a complex number like Z = 1 - i to the 12th power involves de Moivre's theorem, which simplifies calculations using polar forms.
