2.5 DETERMINANTS AND MULTIPLICATIVE INVERSES OF MATRICES By the end of the section students will evaluate determinants, find inverses of matrices, and set up matrix equations. Students will demonstrate this by creating a foldable. Example 1: Find the determinant of each second order matrix By the end of the section students will evaluate determinants, find inverses of matrices, and set up matrix equations. Students will demonstrate this by creating a foldable. Example 1: Find the determinant of each second order matrix By the end of the section students will evaluate determinants, find inverses of matrices, and set up matrix equations.
