Question:

Determinants of Elementary Matrices Find the determinants for each of the elementary matrices (Sec. 3.3, Problems 40 and 41) fanned by the elementary row operations on the 3 x 3 identity matrix I, described as follows.
(a) Interchange two rows of I to get matrix Eint ( Find |Eint|.
(b) Replace a row by the sum of a multiple of another row and the original row to obtain matrix ERepl. Find ERepl.
(c) Scale a row b y multiplying b y a nonzero scalar k to obtain Escale· Find |Escale|.
Theconclusions all extend to n ( n matrices, and in combination with Problem 38 will prove the rules for the effects of row operations on determinants?
