What is (2, 3) + (1, −4)?
Reshape the plane with four numbers
The faint square is the unit square; the coloured shape is where your matrix sends it. Its area is the determinant. If the shape flips, the determinant goes negative; if it flattens to a line, it's zero.
What this linear algebra test covers, in short
Twenty multiple-choice questions at first-year university level, four on each of five topics: vectors, matrices, linear systems, determinants, and eigenvalues and spaces. Most work with 2×2 or 3×3 examples you can do by hand.
Vectors are written as columns; matrix products are row-by-column. The test is our own and not normed.
