What is the term used to refer to the number of rows and columns in a matrix

Order of a matrix

          or 

Dimension of a Matrix

100

Identify element a23 from A =

What is a23 = 2

100

To add two matrices together, they have to have ?

The same dimension.

100

Find the mistake in their steps to find the determinant, and then say what the correct answer should have been:

[5    3

-1    2]


(5*2) + (3*-1)

(10) + (-3)

=7

They added the two products together instead of subtracting. The correct answer should be 

10 - -3 = 13
