The determinant \( |R| \) can be equal to zero in the following cases:
If two of the values \( a, b, c, d \) are zero, there are 4 possible pairs: (a and b), (b and d), (d and c), or (c and a). Each case can occur in \( 7^2 \) ways, so the total number of such cases is:
\(4 \times 7^2 = 196\)
If any three of the values \( a, b, c, d \) are zero, the number of such cases is given by the combination \( \binom{4}{3} \times 7 \), which is:
\(\binom{4}{3} \times 7 = 28\)
If all four values \( a, b, c, d \) are zero, there is only 1 such case:
\(1\)
If all four values \( a, b, c, d \) are non-zero and the same, there are 7 possible values for them:
\(7\)
If two values are alike and the other two are alike, there are \( \binom{7}{2} \times 2 \times 2 \) such cases. This gives:
\(\binom{7}{2} \times 2 \times 2 = 84\)
The total number of invertible matrices is given by the total number of cases minus the non-invertible cases:
\(84 - 196 - 28 - 1 - 7 - 84 = 3780\)
Thus, the number of invertible matrices is 3780.
Let the position vectors of the points P, Q, R and S be
\(\vec{a}=\hat{i}+2\hat{j}-5\hat{k}\), \(\vec{b}=3\hat{i}+6\hat{j}+3\hat{k}\), \(\vec{c}=\frac{17}{5}\hat{i}+\frac{16}{5}\hat{j}+7\hat{k}\) and \(\vec{d}=2\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}\)
respectively. Then which of the following statements is true?
Let $ y(x) $ be the solution of the differential equation $$ x^2 \frac{dy}{dx} + xy = x^2 + y^2, \quad x > \frac{1}{e}, $$ satisfying $ y(1) = 0 $. Then the value of $ 2 \cdot \frac{(y(e))^2}{y(e^2)} $ is ________.
The left and right compartments of a thermally isolated container of length $L$ are separated by a thermally conducting, movable piston of area $A$. The left and right compartments are filled with $\frac{3}{2}$ and 1 moles of an ideal gas, respectively. In the left compartment the piston is attached by a spring with spring constant $k$ and natural length $\frac{2L}{5}$. In thermodynamic equilibrium, the piston is at a distance $\frac{L}{2}$ from the left and right edges of the container as shown in the figure. Under the above conditions, if the pressure in the right compartment is $P = \frac{kL}{A} \alpha$, then the value of $\alpha$ is ____
The graph of a linear inequality in one variable is a number line. We can use an open circle for < and > and a closed circle for ≤ and ≥.
Inequalities that have the same solution are commonly known as equivalents. There are several properties of inequalities as well as the properties of equality. All the properties below are also true for inequalities including ≥ and ≤.
The addition property of inequality says that adding the same number to each side of the inequality gives an equivalent inequality.
If x>y, then x+z>y+z If x>y, then x+z>y+z
If x<y, then x+z<y+z If x<y, then x+z<y+z
The subtraction property of inequality tells us that subtracting the same number from both sides of an inequality produces an equivalent inequality.
If x>y, then x−z>y−z If x>y, then x−z>y−z
If x<y, then x−z<y−z Ifx<y, then x−z<y−z
The multiplication property of inequality tells us that multiplication on both sides of an inequality with a positive number gives an equivalent inequality.
If x>y and z>0, then xz>yz If x>y and z>0, then xz>yz
If x<y and z>0, then xz<yz If x<y and z>0,then xz<yz
