Question

Find the values of following determinants.
(1) $\left|\begin{array}{cc}-1 & 7 \\ 2 & 4\end{array}\right|$
(2) $\left|\begin{array}{cc}5 & 3 \\ -7 & 0\end{array}\right|$
(3) $\left|\begin{array}{ll}\frac{7}{3} & \frac{5}{3} \\ \frac{3}{2} & \frac{1}{2}\end{array}\right|$

Answer

we know, determinant of a $2 \times 2$ matrix
$\left|\begin{array}{ll}
a & b \\
c & d
\end{array}\right|$
(1) $(-1 \times 4)-(7 \times 2)=-4-14=-18$
(2) $(5 \times 0)-(3 \times-7)=0-(-21)=21$
$\begin{aligned}
& \text { (3) } \frac{7}{3} \times \frac{1}{2}-\frac{5}{3} \times \frac{3}{2}=\frac{7}{6}-\frac{15}{6} \\
& =-\frac{8}{6} \\
& =-\frac{4}{3}
\end{aligned}$

In the adjoining figure circles with centres X and Y touch each other at point Z. A secant passing through Z intersects the circles at points A and B respectively. Prove that, radius XA || radius YB. Fill in the blanks and complete the proof.

Construction: Draw segments $X Z$ and ..YZ.
Proof: By theorem of touching circles, points $X, Z, Y$ are ..concyclic. $\qquad$
$\therefore \angle XZA \cong$ $\qquad$ .vertically opposite angles
Let $\angle XZA =\angle BZY = a$. $\qquad$
Now, veg $X A \cong \operatorname{seg} X Z$ $\qquad$ (...radius of the same circle $\qquad$ ..)
$\therefore \angle XAZ =$ $\qquad$ $= a$ $\qquad$ (isosceles triangle theorem) (II)
similarly, peg $Y B \cong . Y Z$ $\qquad$ (.radius of the same circle. $\qquad$
$\therefore \angle BZY =$ $\qquad$ $= a$ $\qquad$ (.isosceles triangle theorem. $\qquad$ (III) $\therefore$ from (I), (II), (III),
$\angle XAZ =. \angle ZBY \ldots \ldots .$.
$\therefore$ radius $X A \|$ radius $Y B$ $\qquad$ . ..since alternate interior angles are equal. $\qquad$
