Question
State whether the matrix $\begin{vmatrix}2&3\\6&4\end{vmatrix}$ is singular or non-singular.

Answer

Let $\triangle=\begin{vmatrix}2&3\\6&4\end{vmatrix}$
= 2 × 4 - 6 × 3
= 18 - 18 = -10
A matrix is said to be singular if its determinant is equal to zero. Since $\triangle=-10\neq0,$ the given matrix is non-singular.
