Let A,B,C be matrices with size m×m, n×n, and n×m, respectively. If det(A)=2 and det(B)=3, then find
det(0ABC)=…
I stuck to solve this problem. I also wonder how can we calculate a determinant of matrix with some matrices in it (submatrices)?
Please, anyone help me
Answer
Hints.
Step 1.
det(0ABC)=(−1)mdet(A0CB)
Step 2.
det(A0CB)=detA⋅detB
Step 1, is obtained by m2 permutations of rows and as many changes of sign.
Step 2, is obtained using the Jordan forms of A and B.
