det(\left(\begin{matrix}1&2&0\\-2&-3&4\\3&0&1\end{matrix}\right))
Find the determinant of the matrix using the method of diagonals.
\left(\begin{matrix}1&2&0&1&2\\-2&-3&4&-2&-3\\3&0&1&3&0\end{matrix}\right)
Extend the original matrix by repeating the first two columns as the fourth and fifth columns.
-3+2\times 4\times 3=21
Starting at the upper left entry, multiply down along the diagonals, and add the resulting products.
-2\times 2=-4
Starting at the lower left entry, multiply up along the diagonals, and add the resulting products.

Subtract -4 from 21.
det(\left(\begin{matrix}1&2&0\\-2&-3&4\\3&0&1\end{matrix}\right))
Find the determinant of the matrix using the method of expansion by minors (also known as expansion by cofactors).
det(\left(\begin{matrix}-3&4\\0&1\end{matrix}\right))-2det(\left(\begin{matrix}-2&4\\3&1\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.
-3-2\left(-2-3\times 4\right)
For the 2\times 2 matrix \left(\begin{matrix}a&b\\c&d\end{matrix}\right), the determinant is ad-bc.
-3-2\left(-14\right)
Simplify.
