The process of finding the determinant of the resulting matrix is a technique commonly used in the field of linear algebra. This computation yields a unique value that offers insights about the matrix, such as its ability to be inverted or the volume of a parallelepiped that its vectors span. Typically, it's represented as det(A) or |A| for any given matrix A.
