MDETERM(a)

• $a$ is the array of numeric elements.
  • MDETERM(), returns the matrix determinant of an array.

Description

• This function gives the determinant value of a matrix.
• To calculate the determinant of a matrix, we can choose only square matrix.i.e. Number of rows and number of columns should be equal.
• Determinant of the identity matrix is always 1.
• Determinant of the matrix $A$ is denoted by $det(A)$ or $|A|$.
• Let $A$ be 2x2 matrix with the elements

$A={\begin{bmatrix}a&b\\c&d\\\end{bmatrix}}$

• Then $det(A)=ad-bc$, where $a,b,c,d$ all are real numbers.
• Let $A$ be the 3x3 matrix with the elements

$A={\begin{bmatrix}a&b&c\\d&e&f\\g&h&i\\\end{bmatrix}}$ Then Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle |A|=a\begin{vmatrix} e & f \\ h & i \end{vmatrix} -b\begin{vmatrix} d & f \\ g & i \end{vmatrix} +c\begin{vmatrix} d & e \\ g & h \end{vmatrix}} : Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle |A| =a(ei-fh)-b(di-fg)+c(dh-eg)}
