Original question and givens

Over R, the 2×2 matrix is M=[[-4, 1], [-2, 9]]. For c=1, find det(cM), with every entry multiplied by c.

  • G001 — Over R, the 2×2 matrix is M=[[-4, 1], [-2, 9]]. For c=1, find det(cM), with every entry multiplied by c.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

source roles = [qf-determinant-scalar, scaled_determinant, domain, reals]

After

derived = [[integer_det_cM]]

Conditions: none

Check THIS source interface:distance uses ONLY its complete coordinate frame;other families use a domain.Discrete operations use local hyphens,legacy banks underscores.Retain family-specific ordered output types and original bilingual data/status.

S002 · calculation

Before

Det scalar ORIGINAL entry0,0 := mul(1, -4)

After

Det scalar ORIGINAL entry0,0 = -4

Conditions: none

Retain ORIGINAL operands and order for exact integer arithmetic.Only raw inputs are SAFE-bounded;derived integers are not recapped or approximated.

After

Det scalar ORIGINAL entry1,1 = 9

Conditions: none

S006 · implies

Before

source roles = [[[-4, 1], [-2, 9]], 1]

After

derived = [[[-4, 1], [-2, 9]]]

Conditions: none

Scale ALL FOUR entries BEFORE taking the determinant.TWO row factors in dimension2 give c²det(M),NOT c det(M).Zero/negative c is legal.

Conditions: none

For THIS2×2 matrix explicitly calculate ad and bc,then retain the sign in ad−bc,not the permanent ad+bc.Derived entries are not SAFE-recapped.
