Can you add determinants?
If two determinants differ by just one column, we can add them together by justadding up these two columns. For example: ... All other elementary row operationswill not affect the value of the determinant!
What does it mean for a determinant to be 0?
When the determinant of a matrix is zero, the system of equations associated with it is linearly dependent; that is, if the determinant of a matrix is zero, at least one row of such a matrix is a scalar multiple of another.
What does it mean when the determinant is 1?
Determinants are defined only for square matrices. If the determinant of a matrix is 0, the matrix is said to be singular, and if the determinant is 1, the matrix is said to be unimodular. ... Note that the notation may be more convenient when indicating the absolute value of a determinant, i.e., instead of .
