Determinant of 3 x 3 matrix

Determinant of a Matrix

The determinant of a Matrix is defined as a special number that is defined only for square matrices (matrices that have the same number of rows and columns). A determinant is used in many places in calculus and other matrices related to algebra, it actually represents the matrix in terms of a real number which can be used in solving a system of a linear equation and finding the inverse of a matrix.
