What ever this should be good for but perhaps it is this what you
want:
you can specify the n x n matrix to be the sum of a scalar multiple of
the identity matrix and a constant matrix.
It shows you the matrix its inverse and its determinat.
Manipulate[k IdentityMatrix[n]+ConstantArray[l,{n,n}]//{#//
MatrixForm,#//Inverse//MatrixForm,#//Det}&//Column,
{{n,1},1,10,1},
{{k,0},0,10,1},
{{l,1},0,10,1}
]
