Answer

See answer below

Work Step by Step

The determinant for the given systems are: $\det (A)=1.3-(-1).2=5$ $\det (B)=1.4-2.(-2)=8$ Also $AB=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1\\ 2 & 3 \end{bmatrix}.\begin{bmatrix} 1 &2\\ -2 & 4 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 3 & -2\\ -4 & 16 \end{bmatrix}$ Hence, $\det (AB)=3.6-(-2)(-4)=40 =\det (A).\det (B)$ Consequently, Theorem 3.2.5, $\det (AB) = 0 = \det (A) .\det(B)$
