Default Matrix Determinant / Complex numbers.

Determinant:




If anyone could solve just one of them it would be much appreciated!

For the first one, try to turn that matrix into a left triangular one, then you'll get easily the determinant.

As for the second question, it's just Euler's formula application.

We know by Euler's Formula that e^{ix}=\cos(x)+i\sin(x). So \begin{aligned}\sqrt[4]{7\left(\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)+i\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)\right)}&=\sqrt[4]{7}e^{\frac{\pi{i}}{8}}\\&=\sqrt[4]{7}\left(\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right)+i\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right)\right)\end{aligned}

Do similarly for the second.
