FAQs on Matrices and Determinants: JEE Mains Previous Year Questions (2021-2024) - Mathematics (Maths) for JEE Main & Advanced

1. What are the basic properties of matrices and determinants?
Ans. Matrices and determinants have properties such as commutativity, associativity, distributivity, and the property of the identity element. Matrices also have properties like addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, and matrix multiplication.
2. How are matrices and determinants used in solving systems of equations?
Ans. Matrices are used to represent systems of linear equations, and determinants are used to find the solutions to these systems. By performing operations on matrices and determinants, we can solve complex systems of equations efficiently.
3. Can determinants be used to find the area of a triangle?
Ans. Yes, determinants can be used to find the area of a triangle by representing the three vertices of the triangle as a matrix. By calculating the determinant of this matrix, we can determine the area of the triangle.
4. How are matrices and determinants applied in computer graphics?
Ans. Matrices are used to represent transformations such as translation, rotation, and scaling in computer graphics. Determinants are used to determine if a transformation will preserve orientation or flip it.
5. What is the significance of eigenvalues and eigenvectors in matrices?
Ans. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors play a crucial role in matrices as they represent special directions along which a transformation only stretches or compresses, without changing its direction. They are used in various applications such as solving differential equations and analyzing complex systems.
