What is the determinant of a matrix's transpose?

  • A.the negative of that of the matrix
  • B.the reciprocal of that of the matrix
  • C.zero for any non-symmetric matrix
  • D.the same as that of the matrix

Answer: D

Correct answer: the same as that of the matrix

\( |A^{T}| = |A| \). The determinant can be expanded along a row or along a column with the same result, and transposing simply exchanges the two, so the value cannot change. A useful consequence is that every row property of determinants has an identical column counterpart, which halves the number of rules to remember.
