Question

Find the rank of the following matrices

`((1, -1),(3, -6))`

Sum

Solution

Let A = `((1, -1),(3, -6))`

Order of A is 2 × 2 

∴ p(A) ≤ 2

Consider the second order minor = `|(1, -1),(3, -6)|`

= – 6 – (– 3)

= – 6 + 3

= – 3

|A| ≠ 0

There is a minor of order 2, which is not zero

∴ p(A) = 2
