Answer 46

the volume scale factor

Question 47

what does it mean when the determinant of the matrix = 0 * 2x2 * 3x3

Answer 47

if det M= 0 then singular matrix if det M ≠ 0 then non- singular * for a 2x2 transforms them onto a line * for a 3x3 Geometrically, it means that the three vectors represented by the rows or columns of the matrix lie in a plane rather than filling 3D space.
