Question

Can you add determinants?

Answer 1

Explanation for correct answer:

We can add determinants by adding their corresponding row and column.

For Example;

$\left|\begin{array}{cc}A& B\\ C& D\end{array}\right|+\left|\begin{array}{cc}E& F\\ G& H\end{array}\right|=\left|\begin{array}{cc}A+E& B+F\\ C+D& D+H\end{array}\right|$

Hence, we can add determinants by adding their corresponding rows and column.
