linear algebra - Determinant of a matrix in a block form




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)=detAdetB




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.
