Fundamental theorem of skew-symmetric matrices:
By definition of skew-symmetric matrix: $A^T = -A$.
Taking the determinant of both sides:
Since $\det(A^T) = \det(A)$ and for an $n \times n$ matrix $\det(-A) = (-1)^n \det(A)$:
$$\det(A) = (-1)^n \det(A)$$Here, the order $n = 5$ is an odd integer:
$$\det(A) = (-1)^5 \det(A) = -\det(A)$$ $$2\det(A) = 0 \implies \det(A) = 0$$विषम-सममित आव्यूह (Skew-symmetric matrix) का गुणधर्म:
परिभाषा से: $A^T = -A$
दोनों पक्षों का सारणिक लेने पर:
यहाँ आव्यूह की कोटि $n = 5$ एक विषम संख्या (odd integer) है:
$$\det(A) = (-1)^5 \det(A) = -\det(A) \implies 2\det(A) = 0 \implies \det(A) = 0$$
