Determinant
★★★☆☆High School
📖Definition
A scalar value for square matrices, indicating invertibility and volume scaling of linear transformations.
📐Formulas
det(A) = |A| = ad - bc (2 × 2)
Determinant of 2×2 matrix
- A[[a, b], [c, d]]
det(A) = ∑_j=1ⁿ (-1)^1+j a_1j M_1j
Cofactor expansion (n×n)
✏️Examples
