What to Focus On

  • Determinant of a 2×2 matrix is ad − bc for matrix [[a, b], [c, d]].
  • It helps in solving two-variable linear equations.
  • If determinant = 0, the system may not have a unique solution.
  • Determinant of 3×3 matrix involves 6 terms.
  • Can be expanded using any row or column.
  • Sign alternates starting with + for first element.
  • Minor: determinant after removing row and column of the element.
  • Cofactor = (−1)^(i+j) × Minor.
  • Used in determinant expansion and matrix inverse.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The determinant of a 3×3 matrix is calculated by multiplying diagonals like in a 2×2 matrix.

When expanding along a row, all cofactors are positive.

If two rows look different, the determinant can't be zero.
