Paragraph: Let A and B be (3 3) matrices with det A=4 and det B=3 . Question: What is det (2 AB ) equal to ?
Options
- A96
- B72
- C48
- D36
Correct answer
A. 96
Step-by-step solution
A and B are (3 3) matrices aligned & det A=4 & det B=3 & det (2 AB )=(2)^3| ~A || B | & =2^3(4)(3)=8(4)(3)=96 aligned
