If A is a square matrix of order n > 1, then which one of the following is correct ?

  • det ( - A) = det A

  • det( - A) = ( - 1)n det(A)

  • det( - A) = - det(A)

  • det( - A) = ndet(A)


B.

det( - A) = ( - 1)n det(A)

For example, consider a 2 × 2 matrix A: 2345         A = - 2 - A = - 2

det( - A) = ( - 1)n det(A)
