Determinants: Singular and non-singular Matrices

A square matrix A is said to be singular if | A | = 0.

Singular and non-singular Matrices


Definition 7.21

A square matrix A is said to be singular if | A | = 0. A square matrix A is said to be non-singular if | A | 0.


Thus B is a non-singular matrix.


Note 7.14

If A and B are non-singular matrices of the same order then AB and BA are also non-singular matrices because | AB | = | A | | B | = | BA |.


EXERCISE 7.4

(1) Find the area of the triangle whose vertices are (0, 0), (1, 2) and (4, 3).

(2) If (k, 2), (2, 4) and (3, 2) are vertices of the triangle of area 4 square units then determine the value of k.
