Is it true that det(A + B) = det A + det B? Experiment with four pairs

Question:

Is it true that det(A + B) = det A + det B? Experiment with four pairs of random matrices as in Exercise 48, and make a conjecture.


Data from in Exercise 48

Is it true that det AB = (det A) (det B)? To find out, generate random 5 x 5 matrices A and B, and compute det AB - (det A det B). Repeat the calculations for three other pairs of n x n matrices, for various values of n. Report your results.
