det(\left(\begin{matrix}10&13&-11\\0&-17&1\\-15&19&4\end{matrix}\right))
Find the determinant of the matrix using the method of diagonals.
\left(\begin{matrix}10&13&-11&10&13\\0&-17&1&0&-17\\-15&19&4&-15&19\end{matrix}\right)
Extend the original matrix by repeating the first two columns as the fourth and fifth columns.
10\left(-17\right)\times 4+13\left(-15\right)=-875
Starting at the upper left entry, multiply down along the diagonals, and add the resulting products.
-15\left(-17\right)\left(-11\right)+19\times 10=-2615
Starting at the lower left entry, multiply up along the diagonals, and add the resulting products.
-875-\left(-2615\right)
Subtract the sum of the upward diagonal products from the sum of the downward diagonal products.

Subtract -2615 from -875.
det(\left(\begin{matrix}10&13&-11\\0&-17&1\\-15&19&4\end{matrix}\right))
Find the determinant of the matrix using the method of expansion by minors (also known as expansion by cofactors).
10det(\left(\begin{matrix}-17&1\\19&4\end{matrix}\right))-13det(\left(\begin{matrix}0&1\\-15&4\end{matrix}\right))-11det(\left(\begin{matrix}0&-17\\-15&19\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.
10\left(-17\times 4-19\right)-13\left(-\left(-15\right)\right)-11\left(-\left(-15\left(-17\right)\right)\right)
For the 2\times 2 matrix \left(\begin{matrix}a&b\\c&d\end{matrix}\right), the determinant is ad-bc.
10\left(-87\right)-13\times 15-11\left(-255\right)
Simplify.
