Formulas and Key Relations

Introduction to Determinants

Every square matrix A = [aij] of order n has an associated number called its determinant, denoted by |A|, det(A), or Δ

Minors and Cofactors

Cofactor Aij = (-1)^(i+j) × Mij — cofactor is minor with appropriate sign

Area of a Triangle Using Determinants

Area Δ = (1/2)|det| where det is the 3×3 determinant with the coordinates

Key relations

For a matrix A = [a] of order 1×1, the determinant is simply |A| = a.
