Statement: If = −1, and is nonsingular, then det() = det()
Similar Example: Suppose A and B are similar matrices. Then there exists an invertible matrix P such that B = PAP-1
solution: det B = det(PAP-1) = (det P)(det A)(det P-1) = (det P)(det A)(det P)-1 = det A
Now, how can I prove the given statement above if it is true or false by using the same logic on this similar example?
