Suppose a square matrix satisfies A^T * A^2. Find det(A).
Added by Roberto P.
Step 1
e., det(AB) = det(A)det(B). Now, we are given that A^TxA^2. Taking the determinant of both sides, we get: det(A^T)det(A^2) = det(I), where I is the identity matrix and det(I) = 1. We also know that det(A^T) = det(A) and det(A^2) = (det(A))^2. Substituting these Show more…
