Question 376385: if we know that det(A) =2 where A = 0 1 0
1 0 1
1 1 0
USE THE PROPERTIES OF DETERMINANT ( And the info about det(A) given) to find the determinant of B = 0 ab^2 ac^2
a^2b 0 bc^2
a^2c b^2c 0

.
We have to get
Now factor from the 1st column, from the 2nd column, and from the 3rd column, to get
.
Then factor a from the 1st row, b from the 2nd row, and c from the 3rd row, to get
.
Therefore the value of the determinant is .
