    What I love about Khan Academy is that, even though Sal gets millions of views on his channel, its not monetised, which could generate tons of income. I HATE waiting for ads to load if I'm trying to watch a UA-cam video, esp if I'm revising and trying to get through a ton of material in one day. Thank you so much Sal, you've helped me and millions of others. You should be proud of yourself fella.

      I went to the lowest performing school in NH and they lost their acreditation the year after I graduated so I didn't exactly get top tier middle and high school education. But now I have work with Karl Slifer at UNH with one of his experiments down at the Jefferson Lab particle accelerator so HS quality really doesn't matter anymore.

    Det(A) = 1 - 0 + -2
    He messed up the plusses and minuses with determinate but because the second part of the determinate was 0 anyway it didn't affect it.
    So those who are getting 3, are doing 1 + 0 - -2, but yeah the plusses and minuses go + - +, not + + -

    -1 1 2 in the first row when you were multiplying by co factors matrix
    could you provide me with a linear algebra text book "name" that is good

    My professor told me to do this by row operations to turn the original matrix into an Identity Matrix, repeating the same steps in an equally large Identity Matrix that would then turn into the inverse matrix.
    Way way harder than using determinants

    universally speaking if you have 4x4 matrix
    r11 r12 r13 r14
    r21 r22 r23 r24
    r31 r32 r33 r34
    r41 r42 r43 r44
    to get equivalent + or - you just use indexes of matrix elements like this:
    (-1)^(i+j) for every element.
    for example, if you use r32:
    (-1)^(3+2) = (-1)^5 = -1 so you put "-" to corresponding place
