Solution
Correct Answer:
135
- Scalar Property: For an n×n matrix A and a scalar k, the property of determinants is ∣kA∣=kn∣A∣.
- Identify Values: Given order n=3, scalar k=3, and determinant ∣A∣=5.
- Calculate:
- ∣3A∣=33×∣A∣
- ∣3A∣=27×5
- Result: 135.
- Reason: Multiplying a matrix by a constant multiplies every row, and since there are 3 rows, the constant factor comes out as k⋅k⋅k.
