find the determinant of the following matrix. [2 3] [1. 4]

The determinant of a 2x2 matrix is defined as
[tex]\left|\begin{array}{ccc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\right|=ad-bc[/tex]
So, in your case, the determinant is
[tex]2\cdot 4-1\cdot 3 = 8-3=5[/tex]
Given matrix is:
As we know that,
→ [tex]\begin{vmatrix}a & b\\ c & d\end{vmatrix} = ad -bc[/tex]
then,
The determinant will be:
= [tex]2\times 4-1\times 3[/tex]
= [tex]8-3[/tex]
= [tex]5[/tex]
Thus the above response is correct.
