Is it possible in MathCAD Prime 2.0 to find the determinant of matrix that has variables in some of the matrix positions? The determinant would be a polynomial. Would this be best described as “symbolically finding the determinant of the matrix?”

Alan thank you, this is exactly what I needed!

In prime 2.0 how do I find ALL possible roots of the resultant polynomial, whatever the degree?

Use the polyroots function. Look up polyroots in Help.
