det(\left(\begin{matrix}1&3&-2\\-3&-9&6\\11&7&5\end{matrix}\right))
Find the determinant of the matrix using the method of diagonals.
\left(\begin{matrix}1&3&-2&1&3\\-3&-9&6&-3&-9\\11&7&5&11&7\end{matrix}\right)
Extend the original matrix by repeating the first two columns as the fourth and fifth columns.
-9\times 5+3\times 6\times 11-2\left(-3\right)\times 7=195
Starting at the upper left entry, multiply down along the diagonals, and add the resulting products.
11\left(-9\right)\left(-2\right)+7\times 6+5\left(-3\right)\times 3=195
Starting at the lower left entry, multiply up along the diagonals, and add the resulting products.
195-195
Subtract the sum of the upward diagonal products from the sum of the downward diagonal products.
0
Subtract 195 from 195.
det(\left(\begin{matrix}1&3&-2\\-3&-9&6\\11&7&5\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}-9&6\\7&5\end{matrix}\right))-3det(\left(\begin{matrix}-3&6\\11&5\end{matrix}\right))-2det(\left(\begin{matrix}-3&-9\\11&7\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.
-9\times 5-7\times 6-3\left(-3\times 5-11\times 6\right)-2\left(-3\times 7-11\left(-9\right)\right)
For the 2\times 2 matrix \left(\begin{matrix}a&b\\c&d\end{matrix}\right), the determinant is ad-bc.
-87-3\left(-81\right)-2\times 78
Simplify.
