A determinant may be considered to bea function which associates each square matrix with a unique number , either real or complex .Which of the following represents the correct definition of this function, if M denotes a matrix and c a real or complex number ?
f(M) = c
If B is the set of square matrices, A is the set of
numbers (real or complex) and : B ? A is defined by (M) = , where M ε B and
A,
