The term determinant is both noun and adjective. In case it is a noun, determinant means a factor that decisively affects the nature or outcome of something. If it is an adjective, determinant means serving to determine or decide something.

Is there an easy way by which I mean a way that requires less than half an hour and no higher math than Algebra 2 to find the determinant of a 5 by 5 matrix?

There is no easy way to find the determinant; it's long and tedious. There are computer programs available (like MATLAB) that will find the determinant. You'll find there probably won't be a large matrix in an exam if you're required to find the determinant.


What is secular determinant?

The secular determinant in quantum mechanics is the determinant of a matrix that arises when solving the Schrödinger equation. It is used to determine the allowed energy levels of a system by finding the roots of the secular equation, which is derived from the secular determinant.


What is the determinant of a 2x3 matrix?

The determinant function is only defined for an nxn (i.e. square) matrix. So by definition of the determinant it would not exist for a 2x3 matrix.
