Calculate the value for each determinant:

See explanations below

Step-by-step explanation:

Example of how to find the determinant of a 2×2 matrices is as shown;

= (a*d)-(b*c)

= ad - bc

Applying this to solve the given questions

1) (3*4) - (-3*-1)

= 12 - (3)

= 9

2) (-12*5)-(-1*12)

= -60 - (-12)

= -60+12

= -48

3) (0*4)-(-1*17)

= 0-(-17)

= 0+17

= 17

4) (8*-1)-(-4*-1)

= -8-(4)

= -8-4

= -12

5) (2*-1)-(2*-1)

= -2-(-2)

= -2+2

= 0

6) 1(1) - 0(0)

= 1 - 0

= 1

step-by-step explanation:

we cannot know this, because the other students could have handed out 10 flyers, or they could have handed out 100. one way, the mean would go up, and another way, the mean would go down.

step-by-step explanation:

descending order means to order the polynomials from the term with the largest exponent to the term with the smallest exponent.  

therefore, the correct answer is d.
