Answer

(a) $|A^T|= -12.$ (b) $|A^3|= -1728.$ (c) $|A^TA| =144.$ (d) $|5A|= -300.$

Work Step by Step

Let $A$ be given by $$A=\left[ \begin {array}{cccc} -2&6\\ 1&3 \end {array} \right] ,$$ (a) $|A^T|=|A|=-12.$ (b) $|A^3|=|A|^3=-12^3=-1728.$ (c) $|A^TA|=|A^T||A|=|A|^2=144.$ (d) $|5A|=5^2|A|=(25)(-12)=-300.$
