Show that the determinant of the 3x3 matrix (2 1 1 / 2 1 7 / 6 3 5) is equal to zero.

To find the determinant of this matrix, we calculate: 2(1x5-3x7)-1(2x5-6x7)-1(2x3-1x6) = 10 - 42 - 10 + 42 -6 + 6 = 0.So the determinant of this 3x3 matrix is equal to zero.

g(x) = ( x / (x+3) ) + ( 3(2x+1) / (x^2 + x - 6) ). Show that this can be simplified to: g(x) = (x+1) / (x-2).

Step 1: The denominator of the right-hand fraction is quadratic, so we can factorise this to (x+3)(x-2). This looks similar to the denominator of the left-hand fraction, suggesti...
