Determinant with Row Multiplied by Constant

Theorem
Let $\mathbf A = \left[{a}\right]_n$ be a square matrix of order $n$.

Let $\det \left({\mathbf A}\right)$ be the determinant of $\mathbf A$.

Let $\mathbf B$ be the matrix resulting from one row (or column) of $\mathbf A$ having been multiplied by a constant $c$.

Then:
 * $\det \left({\mathbf B}\right) = c \det \left({\mathbf A}\right)$

That is, multiplying one row (or column) of a square matrix by a constant multiplies its determinant by that constant.

Proof
Let:
 * $\mathbf A = \begin{bmatrix}

a_{11} & a_{12} & \ldots & a_{1n} \\ a_{21} & a_{22} & \cdots & a_{2n} \\ \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\ a_{n1} & a_{n2} & \cdots & a_{nn} \\ \end{bmatrix}$


 * $\mathbf B = \begin{bmatrix}

b_{11} & b_{12} & \ldots & b_{1n} \\ \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\ b_{r1} & b_{r2} & \cdots & b_{rn} \\ \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\ b_{n1} & b_{n2} & \cdots & b_{nn} \\ \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} a_{11} & a_{12} & \ldots & a_{1n} \\ \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\ ca_{r1} & ca_{r2} & \cdots & ca_{rn} \\ \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\ a_{n1} & a_{n2} & \cdots & a_{nn} \\ \end{bmatrix}$

Then from the definition of the determinant:

The constant $c$ is a factor of all the terms in the $\sum_\lambda$ expression and can be taken outside the summation:

The result for columns follows from Determinant of Transpose.
