# More determinant depth

9 videos
In the last tutorial on matrix inverses, we first defined what a determinant is and gave several examples of computing them. In this tutorial we go deeper. We will explore what happens to the determinant under several circumstances and conceptualize it in several ways.

### Determinant when row multiplied by scalar

The determinant when a row is multiplied by a scalar

### (correction) scalar multiplication of row

VIDEO 2:52 minutes
Correction of last video showing that the determinant when one row is multiplied by a scalar is equal to the scalar times the determinant

### Determinant when row is added

VIDEO 16:55 minutes
The determinant when one matrix has a row that is the sum of the rows of other matrices (and every other term is identical in the 3 matrices)
