Practice makes perfect
The determinant of a matrix is found by subtracting the products of the diagonals. To evaluate the determinant of a 2* 2 matrix, we will use the appropriate formula. | cc a & b c & d | = ad-bcWe can substitute the values from the given matrix into this formula. | cc 8 & 6 4 & 3 | = 8(3)-6(4) Finally, we will simplify the numeric expression.
8(3)-6(4)
