Which of the following is correct?
- A Determinant is a square matrix
- B Determinant is a number associated to a matrix
- C Determinant is a unique number associated to a square matrix
- D Determinant is not defined for a square matrix
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Determinant is a unique number associated to a square matrix
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
A determinant is a scalar value (a unique number, which can be real or complex) that can be computed from the elements of a square matrix. It is not a matrix itself, but a number associated specifically with a square matrix.
Therefore, a determinant is a unique number associated to a square matrix.
Answer: Determinant is a unique number associated to a square matrix
Therefore, a determinant is a unique number associated to a square matrix.
