Question

True or False If any row (or any column) of a determinant is multiplied by a nonzero number k, the value of the determinant remains unchanged.

Short answer

False

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Given information  

We have been given a statement that If any row (or any column) of a determinant is multiplied by a nonzero number k, the value of the determinant remains unchanged.

We have to tell whether it is true or false.

Step 2. Read the statement carefully and write true or false

If any row (or any column) of a determinant is multiplied by a nonzero number k, the value of the determinant also changes by the factor k.

Therefore, the given statement is false.
