Math Problem Statement
Solution
This problem involves properties of determinants.
Key Property of Determinants:
- Adding a multiple of one row to another row in a matrix does not change the determinant.
Solution:
The matrix is obtained from by adding times the fourth row to the second row. According to the above determinant property, such a row operation leaves the determinant unchanged.
Therefore,
