Answer

For the third matrix, we have swapped the first and third rows. Therefore, the determinant of the third matrix is the same as the original matrix, which is \(\boxed{5}\).

Steps

Step 1 :The determinant of a matrix is a special number that can be calculated from a matrix. The determinant helps us find the inverse of a matrix, tells us things about the matrix that are useful in systems of linear equations, calculus and more.

Step 2 :The determinant of a 3x3 matrix can be calculated by the rule of Sarrus. However, the determinant has some properties that can simplify the calculation:

Step 3 :1. The determinant of a matrix remains the same when its rows are switched with columns. In other words, \(\text{det}(A) = \text{det}(A^T)\).

Step 4 :2. If we multiply a row by a scalar, the determinant is multiplied by this scalar.

Step 5 :3. If a matrix has two equal rows or columns, its determinant is zero.

Step 6 :Let's use these properties to calculate the determinants of the given matrices.

Step 7 :Given that the determinant of the original matrix is 5, we can calculate the determinants of the other matrices as follows:

Step 8 :For the first matrix, we have multiplied the first row by 2 and added the second row. Therefore, the determinant of the first matrix is \(2 \times 5 = \boxed{10}\).

Step 9 :For the second matrix, we have added twice the third row to the second row. Therefore, the determinant of the second matrix is \(2 \times 5 = \boxed{10}\).

Step 10 :For the third matrix, we have swapped the first and third rows. Therefore, the determinant of the third matrix is the same as the original matrix, which is \(\boxed{5}\).
