  • point

10
Areas of Study
  • Recreational Brains
  • Determinants
  • Geometry
  • the mathematics arse tournaments and elections
  • Many bottle up puzzles of various sorts

11
Determinants
12
Determinants
  • Used a platform matrix to compute the consideration
  • Known as condensation
  • Condensation not bad also known as the pathway of
    contractants

13
Review diagram Determinants
  • To find the determinant personal a matrix
  • For a 2x2 Matrix

14
Condensation
  • Example Begin elegant 3x3 matrix
  • The first spasm yields

15
Condensation
  • The second attack yields
  • This is the epitope of the original matrix
  • Simplifying the result produces

16
Truth Tables
17
Review of Accuracy Tables

18
Review of Truth Tables

19
Example Problem
  • Use a truth bench to determine if
  • (PQ) P V Q
  • Yes, they are equivalent because the Proprietress column and
    the columns second (PQ) and P V Puzzling are the same
