question 35 points 2

consider \\(a = \

$$\begin{bmatrix} 5 & 5 \\\\ 2 & 4 \\end{bmatrix}$$

\\). find \\(\\|a\\|\\).

20
10

Explanation:

Identify the given matrix and target operation

Using the Matrix Determinant knowledge point

$$ A = LATEXBLOCK0 $$

The notation \(|A|\) represents the determinant of the \(2 \times 2\) matrix \(A\).

Calculate the determinant of the matrix

Using the Matrix Determinant knowledge point

$$ |A| = (5)(4) - (5)(2) = 20 - 10 = 10 $$

Answer:

  • (A) 20
  • (B) 10 (Correct answer)
