 TRANSPOSE OF A MATRIX
The transpose of the m x n matrix is the n x m matrix A^T
given by

is

In other words, the rows of a matrix A become the columns of its transpose A^T.

DETERMINANT OF A MATRIX
The determinant of matrix is the sum of products of the elements
of any row or column and their corresponding co-factors.

The determinant of matrix is defined only for square

matrices.

For any square matrix A, the determinant of A is

denoted by det A (or) |A|.

The process of finding the determinant of matrix involves minors and

co-factors.
DETERMINANT OF A 2×2 MATRIX

It is simply obtained by cross multiplying the elements starting from

top left and then subtracting the products.
DETERMINANT OF 3×3 MATRIX
EXAMPLE:

det A = 0
 MINOR OF ELEMENT OF A MATRIX
The minor of an element (aij) of a square matrix of any order is the
determinant of the matrix that is obtained by removing the row (ith
row) and the column (jth column) containing the element.

Example :
 CO-FACTOR OF ELEMENT OF A MATRIX
The cofactor of an element aij of a square matrix of any order is its minor
multiplied by (-1)^(i + j). i.e.,

Co-factor of an element = [(-1)^(row number + column number)] (minor of the element)

Example :

DETERMINANT OF 3×3 MATRIX:
CO-FACTOR EXPANSION
Here are the steps to find the determinant of matrix (a 3×3 matrix
or any other matrix).
Step 1: Choose any row or column. We usually choose the first
row to find the determinant.
Step 2: Find the co-factors of each of the elements of the
row/column that we have chosen in Step 1.
Step 3: Multiply the elements of the row/column from Step 1
with the corresponding co-factors obtained from Step 2
Step 4: Add all the products from Step 3 which would give the
determinant of the matrix.
EXAMPLE:

det A = 0
 ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS:
Evaluate the determinant of:

det A = 238

det A = 120

det A = 34
