Expert-verifiedFind the determinants of the linear transformations in Exercises 17 through 28.
27. , where a and b are arbitrary constants, from the space V spanned by and to V
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,
For , we have .
So we compute
Obviously is a basis for , so the matrix of that corresponds to is
Therefore,
.
