Question 1
*+

Question 2
**
If \(\det(A)\) = -2 and \(\det(B)\) = 7 for square matrices of the same size, find \(\det(\(AB\))\).
Question 3
***
If A is \(4\times 4\) and \(\det(A)\) = 3, find \(\det(2A)\).
Question 4
**+
If a matrix has two equal rows, what is its determinant?
Question 5
**
A row operation swaps two rows of A to produce B. If \(\det(A)\) = 9, find \(\det(B)\).
Question 6
**
A row operation multiplies one row of A by 4 to produce B. If \(\det(A)\) = -3, find \(\det(B)\).
Question 7
**
A row operation replaces \(\mathbb R^2\) by \(\mathbb R^2\) + 5R1. How does the determinant change?
Question 8
***
If \(\det(A)\) = 6 and A is invertible, find \(\det()\).
Question 9
***
If A is a \(3\times 3\) matrix with \(\det(A)\) = 4, find \(\det(-A)\).
