Answer to Problem 1VRC

Solution:

The value of given determinant |7208| is 56.

Explanation of Solution

Concept:

Determinant of a 2×2 matrix is given by,

|abcd|=adbc

Given:

The given matrix is |7208|

Calculation:

Observe the given matrix and identify the values of a,b,c and d.

|7208|

From the matrix value of a,b,c and d are 7,2,0 and 8 respectively,

Substitute 7 for a, 2 for b, 0 for c and 8 for d in the formula to evaluate the determinant,

|7208|=(7×82×0)=560=56

Final Statement:

Thus, the value of given determinant |7208| is 56.
