Determinants – Class 12 (IIT JEE Short Notes)

1. Definition
- Determinant of a square matrix A = [aij] is a scalar value, denoted by |A| or det(A).

Order 2:
|a b| = ad – bc
|c d|

Order 3:
|a b c| = a(ei – fh) – b(di – fg) + c(dh – eg)
|d e f|
|g h i|

2. Properties of Determinants
1. Interchanging two rows/columns → determinant changes sign.
2. If two rows/columns are identical → determinant = 0.
3. If each element of a row/col is multiplied by k → determinant multiplies by k.
4. If a row/col is sum of two, determinant can be split.
5. Adding a multiple of one row/col to another → determinant unchanged.
6. Determinant of triangular matrix = product of diagonal elements.
7. det(A) = det(A^T).

3. Important Results
- det(AB) = det(A) * det(B)
- det(A^-1) = 1/det(A) (if det(A) ≠ 0)
- det(kA) = k^n * det(A) (for n×n matrix)
