the rank of the matrix or order 4×3 is >3. true or false
Yes, order and rank <= 3 for 4*3. In order to obtain the rank of your 4 ×3 matrix using its minors, first obtain the determinant of each submatrix of the 4×3 matrix. If one of these determinants is nonzero, you may stop and state that the rank of the 4×3 matrix is 3 . However, if the determinants of these four matrices are all zero, then the rank of the 4×3 matrix is less than 3 . In such a case, proceed to find the determinant of each submatrix. If one of these determinants is nonzero, you can stop and state that the rank of the 4×3 matrix is 2 . However, if all of these submatrices have determinant zero, then you know that the rank of the 4×3 matrix is less than 2 - so it is either zero or one. In such a case, it is easy to determine whether the rank is zero or one: it is zero if the entries of the matrix are all zero, otherwise it is one.
Hope this helps.
