Solved Problem 26

Tutorial on how to compute for determinant value of 4 x 4 Matrix then use it together with Cramer's rule to solve any four simultaneous linear equations.

Acquiring knowledge and skill on how to solve for determinant of 4 x 4 matrix is important in solving any four simultaneous linear equation. In example shown below, determinant X detX, detY, detZ, and detW were computed. Then following Cramer's Rule, the solution for value of X, Y , Z, and W can be calculated.

Cramer's Rule : X = detX / determinant 4 x 4
Cramer's Rule : Y = detY / determinant 4 x 4
Cramer's Rule : Z = detZ / determinant 4 x 4
Cramer's Rule : W = detW / determinant 4 x 4

To solve for detX, you replace the constant of Xs with the constant value found on the right hand of equal sign which are 6.2, -2.2, 6.2, and 3.6

You repeat the same process for detY, detZ, and detW

Doing this calculation by hand is very time consuming but thanks to computer and internet advancement, it is now possible to solve this problem in less than a minute using your smartphone. Now our brain can be used for higher level of thinking such as scenario analyis and decision making.
