      Shouldn’t the (-24-21) actually be (-24+21)? I’m not sure where the -7 is coming from in the “i” calculation. Just seems strange that I didn’t see another comment on this...

    For determinants I found a quicker method in a physics books from the 80's when I was studying. It amounts to the same thing but doesn't use sub determinants. You start at row 1, and scan right (additions) and diagonally down. So the first vector would be i * -6 * 4, then j * 3 * -2 [note that you always wrap around regardless of direction] and then k * 5 * 7. Then you repeat in the for the subtractions going from right to left, -(i * 3 * 7) -(k * -6 * -2) -(j * 5 * 4). You then sum it all up. It makes rapid work of calculating a determinant as you can scan and calculate each component and write it down and then just do a final addition. Alternatively you can zig right on "i" and then -zag left on "i" and get the i component in one pass. This technique is especially useful for large matrices because you don't have to constantly decompose to 2x2's. I see that the method I learned is called the "Diagonal Method". It stuck with me!!

  • @Kaneki_sama_
    @Kaneki_sama_ 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

  • @BrianSodke2

    Khan Academy There is a much easier way to do the cross product than demonstrated in this video.
    What one can do is create an array with the first column, from top to bottom, reading i, j, k. Then list the numbers of the first vector in the second column, then the second vectors in the third column, then i, j, k again, then the first vector's numbers again, making a total of 5 columns. Then draw lines through all the diagonals with 3 numbers in them (make an arrow at the end of line pointing towards the bottom). Multiply all the stuff in each diagonal and write it at the bottom. The first 3 terms are multiplied by -1 and the last 3 are summed. This makes it easier to see what is happening in the operation.

    • @bellamarie15
      @bellamarie15 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The formula for the sign is equal to (-1) ^(i+j). , so for example you are taking the minor of row 1 colum 2 , your i=1 and your j =2, the sign would be equal to (-1) ^(1+2) that is (-1)^3 , that is why you have a negative sign on row 1 column 2. In other words , if the sum of your row and column is odd , the sign is negative, if it is even the sign is positive. Shortcut is label it like a checker board, starting on the upper left corner with a positive, then just alternate the signs. Hope this helps.

    How could a magnitude be worked out using the dot product method if vectors a and b are inconsistent? For example vector a = (3.0i - 4.0j) and vector b = (-2.0i + 3.0k).
    I was told to expand these using the distributive law, however, that's not what Sal does in this video...

    The J is correct.
    & shouldn't k be (35+12)k since a (-) times a (-) is a (+)?

    i think the cross product calculations made were wrong....even after the -45i mistake...there was another right after ...instead of taking {(3.-2)-(5.4)},which equals -26,... u did the reverse...meaning 20-(-6)...resulting in +26. After doing it both ways and checking your solution for a perpendicular cross product of zero by (-45i,26j,23k) x (5,-6,3) u will find that using +26 does not result in 0 but rather gives an answer of -312 ....even after using -45i, whereas using -26 produces zero

    • @MrJdcirbo
      @MrJdcirbo 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The dot product is the length of the projection
      |projb a|,
      not the projection itself. The projection (projb a) is actually another vector. It's defined thusly:
      projb a= [(a•b)/(b•b)]*b
      The [(a•b)/(b•b)] make a scalar value, which you then multiply by b.
