Minor, Cofactor, and Determinant
Minor: The minor of an element is the determinant of the matrix formed by deleting the row and column of that element.
Cofactor: The cofactor of an element \( a_{ij} \) is given by \( C_{ij} = (-1)^{i+j} M_{ij} \).
Determinant: The determinant is a scalar value representing certain properties of the matrix.
2x2 Determinant Formula:
For a 2x2 matrix \( A = \begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix} \), the determinant is calculated as: \[ \text{det}(A) = ad - bc \]

Cramer's Rule
Cramer's Rule is a method for solving a system of linear equations using determinants. For a system \( A \mathbf{x} = \mathbf{b} \), the solution for each variable is given by: \[ x_i = \frac{\text{det}(A_i)}{\text{det}(A)} \] where \( A_i \) is the matrix formed by replacing the \( i \)-th column of \( A \) with \( \mathbf{b} \).

Inverse of a Matrix
The inverse of a matrix \( A \) is denoted as \( A^{-1} \), and it's defined as \( A A^{-1} = A^{-1} A = I \), where \( I \) is the identity matrix.
The inverse can be calculated using various methods, depending on the matrix size.

Rank of a Matrix
The rank of a matrix is the maximum number of linearly independent row or column vectors in the matrix. It can be calculated by transforming the matrix into its Row Echelon Form (REF) or Reduced Row Echelon Form (RREF).

Row Echelon Form (REF)
The Row Echelon Form of a matrix is achieved when all nonzero rows are above any rows of all zeros, and the leading coefficient of a nonzero row is always to the right of the leading coefficient of the previous row.
