I think there is a mistake in my textbook but just making sure
If $A$ and $B$ are $4 \times 4$ matrices and $\det(A) = 3$ and $\det(B) = 5$, what is the determinant of $(3A)^{-1}$?
My solution:
$$\frac{1}{\det(3A)} = \frac{1}{3^4 \det(A)} = \frac{1}{3^5}.$$ Their answer is $\frac{1}{3^4}.$
You are absolutely right.
There must be a mistake in the correction.
You always have
$$\det(CD)=\det(C)\det(D)$$
and
$$\det(A^{-1})=\frac 1{\det(A)}.$$
