Use the properties of determinants to find the value of the second determinant, given the value of the first.
-$\left| \begin{array} { r r r } x & y & z \ u & v & w \ 1 & - 3 & - 3 \end{array} \right| = 66 \left| \begin{array} { r r r } x & z \ u & v & w \ - 2 & 6 & 6 \end{array} \right| = ?$
A) 66
B) 132
C) $- 66$
D) $- 132$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The second determinant can be obtained from the first by multiplying the third row by -2. This operation multiplies the determinant by -2, making the value of the second determinant -2 * 66 = -132.
