Determinant of a matrix of order one is equal to the entity or element that is present in the matrix. A determinant is the value associated with the square matrix of order m. It is denoted by Det (A) or |A|, where A is a matrix.

Determinant of 1 x 1 Matrix
For square matrix say,
The determinant of the matrix A is given by:
Det A =
Det A = ad – bc
Now, if A is a matrix of the order 1 x 1, such that;
A = [a]1×1
Then, the determinant of matrix A is given by;
Det (A) = a
Or
|A| = a
Note: |A| does not express the modulus of A here, but the determinant of A.

Examples of Determinant of Order One Matrices
1. The determinant of matrix A = [2]1×1 is:
Det A = 2
2. The determinant of matrix B = [-1]1,1 is:
|B| = -1
3. The determinant of the matrix of order one, A = [100]1×1 is:
Det A = 100
4. The determinant of matrix A with order 1 x 2 cannot be determined.
