multiplications for large systems. Babbage designed a machine, called the

worked, Babbage’s invention demonstrated how complex calculations could be
handled mechanically.In 1944,scientists at IBM used the lessons of the difference
engine to create the world’s first computer.
Those who invented computers hoped to relegate the drudgery of repeated
computation to a machine. In this section, we look at a method for solving linear
systems that played a critical role in this process. The method uses real numbers,
called determinants, that are associated with arrays of numbers. As with matrix
methods,solutions are obtained by writing down the coefficients and constants of a
linear system and performing operations with them.

Let’s first solve this system for x using the addition method.We can solve for x by
eliminating y from the equations. Multiply the first equation by b and the second

Similarly,we could use the addition method to solve our system for y, again expressing y
as the quotient of two determinants. This method of using determinants to solve the
linear system,called Cramer’s rule, is summarized in the box.

using determinants:
1. Three different determinants are used to find x and y.The determinants in the
denominators for x and y are identical.The determinants in the numerators
for x and y differ.In abbreviated notation,we write

x = x and y = , where D Z 0.

the variables in the system.

Use Cramer’s rule to solve the system:
5x - 4y = 2
b6x - 5y = 1.
Solution Because

we will set up and evaluate the three determinants D, D , and D .

1. D, the determinant in both denominators, consists of the x- and y-coefficients.
D = `5 -4` = 1521-52 - 1621-42 =-25 + 24 =-1
6 -5
Because this determinant is not zero,we continue to use Cramer’s rule to solve
the system.
2. D , the determinant in the numerator for x, is obtained by replacing the
x
x-coefficients in D, 5 and 6,by the constants on the right sides of the equations,
2 and 1.
D = `2 -4` = 1221-52 - 1121-42 =-10 + 4 =-6
x 1 -5
3. D , the determinant in the numerator for y, is obtained by replacing the
y
y-coefficients in D, -4 and -5, by the constants on the right sides of the
equations,2 and 1.

D = ` ` = 152112 - 162122 = 5 - 12 =-7

As always, the solution (6, 7) can be checked by substituting these values into
the original equations.The solution set is 516, 726.
