how to solve determinant of 4x4 matrix?

Solving determinants of a square matrix of order 4 calls for an understanding of concepts, the scope of which goes beyond the ambit of the syllabus in your grade as it is a lengthy and time consuming but still you can solve it in the same way as for a square matrix of order 3.

Example:

  • 2

by the rule..

  • -3

similarily as 3 * 3 (but ensure here the co - factor formed will be of order 3 * 3 and so will be little bit lengthy to solve)

  • 0

yes, it's same as 3*3... and it's lengthy but very easy

  • -5

16

  • -5
