Sagot :

Answer:

a. False

b. True

c. True

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement a is false and the other two statements are true. Adding a multiple of one column not only changes the sign of the determinant but also the variables are changed. When two rows of square matrix are equivalent then the determinant is zero which means when one row is multiple of another row the determinant is zero.
