Practicing Success
Let $A=\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 2 & -5\\-2 & 0 & -7\\5 & 7 & 0 \end{bmatrix} $ and $B=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 5 & 8 \\2 & 7 &4 \\3 & 9 & 10\end{bmatrix}$ then |AB|= |
235 507 0 -235 |
0 |
The correct answer is Option (3) → 0 $A^T=-A$ ⇒ A is skew symmetric so $|A^T|=-|A|$ $|A|=-|A|⇒|A|=0$ $|AB|=|A||B|=0$ |
