If $A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 4 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$,then show that $|2A| = 4|A|$.
(N/A) Given matrix $A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 4 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$.
First,calculate $2A$:
$2A = 2 \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 4 & 2 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 4 \\ 8 & 4 \end{bmatrix}$.
Now,calculate the determinant $|2A|$:
$|2A| = (2 \times 4) - (4 \times 8) = 8 - 32 = -24$.
Next,calculate the determinant $|A|$:
$|A| = (1 \times 2) - (2 \times 4) = 2 - 8 = -6$.
Now,calculate $4|A|$:
$4|A| = 4 \times (-6) = -24$.
Since $|2A| = -24$ and $4|A| = -24$,we have shown that $|2A| = 4|A|$.
