6. Assume that the following determinant calculation is correct. i. Use the properties of determinants (3.2.4 in the Study Guide or p30 - p37 of the lecture notes) to evaluate the following determinants. Identify the relevant property(s) and show the required working but do not calculate the determinants directly (i.e. don't expand using cofactors and minors). ii. 1 002 1 2 13 4 1 00 1250 iii. 1 1 10 022 0 0 15 4 2301 = -32 12 13 0041 1002 1 250 10 24 12 0252 2603 00 12 3
