Consider a linear transformation from to . Suppose for two vectors and in we have androle="math" localid="1660719222222" . What can you say about det A ? Justify your answer carefully.
IfA is a matrix whose entries are all 1 or -1 , then must be divisible by 8 (i.e., for some integer k).
Consider those matrices whose entries are all 1 , -1 , or 0 . What is the maximal value of the determinant of a matrix of this type? Give an example of a matrix whose determinant has this maximal value.
