**Matrix Algebra Problem** Let \( A, B, C \) be square invertible matrices satisfying \( BAC = A^2C \). Assume that \(\det A = -3\) and \(\det C = 2\). Find a formula for \( B \) and calculate the determinant of \( B \). **Options:** Select one: a. None of the mentioned. b. \( B = ACA^{-1} \), \(\det B = 18\) c. \( B = CA^{-1} \), \(\det B = -6\) d. \( B = C \), \(\det B = 2\) e. \( B = A \), \(\det B = -3\) --- This problem challenges the understanding of matrix algebra, particularly the properties of determinants and the manipulation of invertible matrices. The correct answer will derive from carefully following the properties and operations of determinants and matrix inverses.
