Is a square matrix A invertible if |A|=0?

0

No, a square matrix A is not invertible if its determinant |A| is equal to 0. A matrix is invertible (also known as non-singular or non-degenerate) if and only if its determinant is non-zero. If the determinant is zero, the matrix is singular and does not have an inverse.

Invertibility requires that the matrix represents a transformation that can be "undone." When the determinant is zero, it means the matrix collapses space (or at least reduces its dimension), making it impossible to reverse the transformation uniquely.
