Can the elimnation matrices only be applied to square matrices?
Only square matrices have inverses.
What is the determinant rank of the determinant of 123456 its a 2 x 3 matrix?
A determinant is defined only for square matrices, so a 2x3 matrix does not have a determinant.Determinants are defined only for square matrices, so a 2x3 matrix does not have a determinant.
Why only square matrix have determinant?
The square matrix have determinant because they have equal numbers of rows and columns. <<>> Determinants are not defined for non-square matrices because there are no applications of non-square matrices that require determinants to be used.
What is the determinant of a 2x1 matrix?
The determinant is only defined for square matrices.
Are two integers that are opposite also called additive inverses.?
Yes. Those would be numbers such as 5 and -5, which only have opposite signs - they are called additive inverses (of one another).
Can the elimnation matrices only be applied to square matrices?
Only square matrices have inverses.
Do all matrices have determinant?
Only square matrices have a determinant
Is it possible to solve for the determinant of a 3 x 4 matrix?
No. Determinants are only defined for square matrices.No. Determinants are only defined for square matrices.

Why rectangular matrix have no inverse in linear algebra?
Inverse matrices are defined only for square matrices.
Can a nonsquare matrix be a triangular matrix?
No. Only square matrices can be triangular.
Why only square matrix have determinant?
The square matrix have determinant because they have equal numbers of rows and columns. <<>> Determinants are not defined for non-square matrices because there are no applications of non-square matrices that require determinants to be used.
What is the determinant of a 2x1 matrix?
The determinant is only defined for square matrices.
Inverse of 2x1 matrix?
it doesnt have an inverse since only square matrices have an inverse
Can matrices of the same dimension be multiplied?
No. The number of columns of the first matrix needs to be the same as the number of rows of the second.So, matrices can only be multiplied is their dimensions are k*l and l*m. If the matrices are of the same dimension then the number of rows are the same so that k = l, and the number of columns are the same so that l = m. And therefore both matrices are l*l square matrices.
What number is equal to it opposit?
The number that is its own "additive inverse" is zero. (x + 0 = x - 0)For the multiplicative inverse (1/x), the number 1 is its own inverse (also -1). (x times 1 = x/1)x = 1/x is only true where x = 1 or x = (-1)
Why Is the product of a fraction and its multiplicative inverse 1?
The statement is true only for non-zero fractions and it follows from the definition of a multiplicative inverse.
