Determinant:
A unique value associated with a square matrix
of order n.
❖Determinant of order 1:
A = [a]
??????=�=�
❖Determinant of order 2:
A =

= ad−bc
DETERMINANT OF ORDER 3:
The given determinant is expanded by 1
st
column.
Note:
•A determinant mayexpand by any row or column.
•To expand the determinant, choose a row/column with maximum
number of zeros.
