det(\left(\begin{matrix}0&j&0\\-12&2&-4\\-4&2&3\end{matrix}\right))
Find the determinant of the matrix using the method of diagonals.
\left(\begin{matrix}0&j&0&0&j\\-12&2&-4&-12&2\\-4&2&3&-4&2\end{matrix}\right)
Extend the original matrix by repeating the first two columns as the fourth and fifth columns.
j\left(-4\right)\left(-4\right)=16j
Starting at the upper left entry, multiply down along the diagonals, and add the resulting products.
3\left(-12\right)j=-36j
Starting at the lower left entry, multiply up along the diagonals, and add the resulting products.
16j-\left(-36j\right)
Subtract the sum of the upward diagonal products from the sum of the downward diagonal products.
52j
Subtract -36j from 16j.
det(\left(\begin{matrix}0&j&0\\-12&2&-4\\-4&2&3\end{matrix}\right))
Find the determinant of the matrix using the method of expansion by minors (also known as expansion by cofactors).
-jdet(\left(\begin{matrix}-12&-4\\-4&3\end{matrix}\right))
To expand by minors, multiply each element of the first row by its minor, which is the determinant of the 2\times 2 matrix created by deleting the row and column containing that element, then multiply by the element's position sign.
-j\left(-12\times 3-\left(-4\left(-4\right)\right)\right)
For the 2\times 2 matrix \left(\begin{matrix}a&b\\c&d\end{matrix}\right), the determinant is ad-bc.
-j\left(-52\right)
Simplify.
52j
Add the terms to obtain the final result.
