Transcribed Image Text:**Matrix Determinants Evaluation**
Let \( A \) be a 3-by-3 matrix whose determinant is \(-5\). Use properties of determinants to evaluate the following:
1. \( \text{det}(2A) = \)
2. \( \text{det}(A^2) = \)
3. \( \text{det}(A^{-1}) = \)
**Properties of Determinants:**
1. **Scalar Multiplication:**
For a scalar \( c \) and an \( n \times n \) matrix \( A \), the determinant of \( cA \) is \( c^n \times \text{det}(A) \).
2. **Powers of a Matrix:**
The determinant of \( A^k \) is \( (\text{det}(A))^k \).
3. **Inverse of a Matrix:**
The determinant of the inverse of \( A \), \( A^{-1} \), is \( 1/\text{det}(A) \).
Using these properties, you can fill in the blanks for the determinant evaluations:
- \( \text{det}(2A) = 2^3 \times (-5) \)
- \( \text{det}(A^2) = (-5)^2 \)
- \( \text{det}(A^{-1}) = \frac{1}{-5} \)
Completing these calculations will provide the evaluated determinants for each expression.
