- Consider the two matrices below, and suppose you already have computed $\detname{A}=-120$. What is $\detname{B}$? Why?
\begin{align*}
A&=
\begin{bmatrix}
0 & 8 & 3 & -4 \\
-1 & 2 & -2 & 5 \\
-2 & 8 & 4 & 3 \\
0 & -4 & 2 & -3
\end{bmatrix}
&
B&=
\begin{bmatrix}
0 & 8 & 3 & -4 \\
0 & -4 & 2 & -3 \\
-2 & 8 & 4 & 3 \\
-1 & 2 & -2 & 5
\end{bmatrix}
\end{align*}
- State the theorem that allows us to make yet another extension to our NMEx series of theorems.
- What is amazing about the interaction between matrix multiplication and the determinant?
