Expert-verifiedFind the determinants of the linear transformations in Exercises 17 through 28.
18.
Therefore, the determinant of the linear transformations is given by,
.
A determinant is a unique number associated with a square matrix.
A determinant is a scalar value that is a function of the entries of a square matrix.
It is the signed factor by which areas are scaled by this matrix. If the sign is negative the matrix reverses orientation.
Given linear transformation,
Forwe have . So we compute
Since is a basis for , the matrix of T corresponding to B is
Therefore,
det T =det B = 8.
