Answer:
-864
Step-by-step explanation:
The determinant of a matrix product is the product of the determinants. The determinant of a transpose is the same as the determinant of the original. Hence ...

The multiplication of an n×n matrix by a scalar 'a' multiplies its determinant by a^n, so the desired determinant is ...

Answer:
132
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
E) b^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving the first equation for a, we get ...
a - b = 0
a = b . . . . . . add b to both sides
Now, the expression ab can be rewritten as
ab = bb = b^2 . . . . . . substitute b for a
7 red, 8 yellow, 9 white......total = 24 roses
probability first pick is white : 9/24
probability second pick is yellow : 8/23
probability of both : 9/24 * 8/23 = 72/552 reduces 3/23 <====
