MATLAB - Linear Algebra
What is the output of the following MATLAB code?
A = [2 3; 1 4]; d = det(A); d
What is the output of the following MATLAB code?
medium📝 Predict Output Q13 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Calculate determinant of matrix A
Matrix A = [2 3; 1 4]. Determinant = (2*4) - (3*1) = 8 - 3 = 5.Step 2: Assign and display determinant
Variable d stores 5, so output is 5.Final Answer:
5 -> Option DQuick Check:
det([2 3;1 4]) = 5 [OK]
Quick Trick: Use formula ad-bc for 2x2 matrix determinant [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Multiplying elements incorrectly
- Swapping terms in subtraction
- Confusing determinant with sum
