Math Problem Statement
Solution
In the image, you're asked to determine the determinant of matrix , given that the determinant of matrix is 100. Matrix is obtained by multiplying the third row of matrix by 3, which means:
Now, let's go through the steps:
-
Rule for Row Multiplication and Determinants: When you multiply one row of a matrix by a scalar, the determinant of the matrix is multiplied by that scalar. In this case, you're multiplying the third row of by 3, so the determinant of will be:
-
Given that , you can compute:
Therefore, the determinant of matrix is 300.
Would you like more details on any part of this calculation? Here are 5 follow-up questions to deepen your understanding:
- Why does multiplying a row by a scalar affect the determinant this way?
- What would happen to the determinant if two rows of a matrix were swapped?
- How would the determinant change if multiple rows were scaled in a matrix?
- Could you compute the determinant of manually? How is that done?
- What properties of determinants make them useful in linear algebra?
Tip: Always remember that elementary row operations like swapping rows or multiplying rows by a scalar directly influence the determinant.
