Determinants MCQS

1. The document contains 25 multiple choice questions related to determinants of matrices. It tests concepts such as how the determinant of a matrix changes when the matrix is multiplied by a scalar, properties of determinants, inverses of matrices, and solving systems of linear equations using determinants. 2. Key concepts covered include: how the determinant is unchanged if rows/columns are interchanged but changes sign if two rows/columns are swapped; properties of the adjoint and inverse of matrices; conditions under which a matrix or system of equations has a unique solution, no solution, or infinite solutions; and relationships between a matrix and its determinant, adjoint, and inverse. 3. The questions aim to assess understanding of foundational
