For matrices A and B of the same order, |AB| equals:

Show answer

|A| × |B|

The product rule for determinants: |AB| = |A|·|B|. This is a fundamental property of determinants.

3true false

The value of |A| = |Aᵀ| for any square matrix A.

Show answer

True

Transposing a matrix does not change its determinant: |Aᵀ| = |A|. This is because determinant expansion by rows equals expansion by columns.

4multiple choice

For a non-singular matrix A, A⁻¹ equals:

Show answer

(adj A)/|A|

A⁻¹ = (1/|A|) × adj A = (adj A)/|A|. This requires |A| ≠ 0 (non-singular).
