Solved: The Determinant of a Scalar Multiple of a Matrix

Chapter 3, Problem 13

(choose chapter or problem)

In Exercises 7–14, use the fact that \(|c A|=c^{n}|A|\) to evaluate the determinant of the \(n \times n\) matrix.

\(A=\left[\begin{array}{rrrr}

5 & 0 & -15 & 0 \\

0 & 5 & 0 & 0 \\

-10 & 0 & 5 & 0 \\

0 & -20 & 0 & 5

\end{array}\right]\)

Text Transcription:

|cA| = c^n |A|

n times n

A=[5  0  -15  0

0  5  0  0

-10  0  5  0

0  -20  0  5]
