∙ Evaluate the function values:
f(3)=C33+log24=1+2=3
f(7)=C73+log28=35+3=38
∙ So f(7)/38=1 and log3f(3)=log33=2
∙ Reduce the trig / limit / log / factorial entries:
tan4π=1
2limx23/x!=20=1
i4=1,lg10−48=−48,P4=4!=24,ln1=0
∙ Assemble the matrix:
A=31−481224110
∙ Expand along row 1:
detA=3(2⋅0−1⋅24)−1(1⋅0−1⋅(−48))+1(1⋅24−2⋅(−48))
detA=3(−24)−1(48)+1(120)
detA=−72−48+120=0
