 If A is a 3×3 matrix where det(A)=−2  then what will be det(3A^2 A^(−1) )?  knowing that A^(−1)  is the inverse  of A

det(3A^2 A^(−1) )=det(3A)=3^3 ×det(A)  =27×(−2)=−54
$${det}\left(\mathrm{3}{A}^{\mathrm{2}} {A}^{−\mathrm{1}} \right)={det}\left(\mathrm{3}{A}\right)=\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{3}} ×{det}\left({A}\right) \\ $$$$=\mathrm{27}×\left(−\mathrm{2}\right)=−\mathrm{54} \\ $$
