    Study Notes

    Determinants

    • The determinant of a matrix A is denoted by det(A) or |A|.
    • For a 2x2 matrix, the determinant is calculated as a11a22 - a12a21.
    • If the determinant of a matrix is non-zero, the matrix is nonsingular; otherwise, it is singular.

    Properties of Determinants

    • If a matrix has zero rows or columns, its determinant is zero.
    • Multiplying a row or column by a scalar k multiplies the determinant by k.
    • Interchanging two rows or columns changes the sign of the determinant.
    • If two rows of a matrix are the same, the determinant is zero.

    Evaluation of Determinants (Cofactor Expansions)

    • For a 3x3 matrix, the determinant can be calculated using cofactor expansions by a row or column.
    • The sign rule is + - + for a 3x3 matrix.
    • Cofactor expansions can be used to find the determinant of a matrix.

    Solving Systems of Linear Equations using Determinants (Cramer's Rule)

    • Cramer's rule is a method for solving systems of linear equations using determinants.
    • The solution to a system of linear equations can be found by dividing the determinant of a modified matrix by the determinant of the coefficient matrix.

    Inverse Matrices and Determinants

    • The inverse of a matrix can be calculated using determinants.
    • A matrix has an inverse if and only if its determinant is non-zero.

    Rank of a Matrix

    • The rank of a matrix is the number of rows or columns of the largest square submatrix with a non-zero determinant.
    • The rank of a 2x2 matrix can be found by checking if the determinant is non-zero.
