Chapter 8.4, Problem 1E

To determine

To fill:The term that is used to represent $\det \left(A\right)$ and $\left|A\right|$ .

Answer to Problem 1E

The term used to represent both $\det \left(A\right)$ and $\left|A\right|$ is determinant.

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The symbols $\det \left(A\right)$ and $\left|A\right|$ .

The determinant of a matrix A is the scalar value or number calculated using a square matrix.

Determinant can be represented by $\det \left(A\right)$ or it can also be denoted by two vertical bars on both sides of matrix as $\left|A\right|$ .
