00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.660
Here is the problem: [[5, 7], [2, 3]].

2
00:00:02.110 --> 00:00:05.326
Find the determinant of a 2 times 2 matrix.

3
00:00:06.126 --> 00:00:08.332
Read the 2 times 2 matrix.

4
00:00:08.782 --> 00:00:12.346
Use ad minus bc for a 2 times 2 matrix.

5
00:00:13.146 --> 00:00:15.294
So the answer is det(A) equals 1.

6
00:00:15.744 --> 00:00:22.594
The determinant is 1, which is non-zero, so the matrix is invertible and its rows are linearly independent.

7
00:00:23.394 --> 00:00:28.189
Computed exactly with fractions; row reduction gives the same value 1.
