det(\left(\begin{matrix}3&-2&5\\5&-3&2\\0&3&-1\end{matrix}\right))
Find the determinant of the matrix using the method of diagonals.
\left(\begin{matrix}3&-2&5&3&-2\\5&-3&2&5&-3\\0&3&-1&0&3\end{matrix}\right)
Extend the original matrix by repeating the first two columns as the fourth and fifth columns.
3\left(-3\right)\left(-1\right)+5\times 5\times 3=84
Starting at the upper left entry, multiply down along the diagonals, and add the resulting products.
3\times 2\times 3-5\left(-2\right)=28
Starting at the lower left entry, multiply up along the diagonals, and add the resulting products.
84-28
Subtract the sum of the upward diagonal products from the sum of the downward diagonal products.
56
Subtract 28 from 84.
det(\left(\begin{matrix}3&-2&5\\5&-3&2\\0&3&-1\end{matrix}\right))
Find the determinant of the matrix using the method of expansion by minors (also known as expansion by cofactors).
3det(\left(\begin{matrix}-3&2\\3&-1\end{matrix}\right))-\left(-2det(\left(\begin{matrix}5&2\\0&-1\end{matrix}\right))\right)+5det(\left(\begin{matrix}5&-3\\0&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.
3\left(-3\left(-1\right)-3\times 2\right)-\left(-2\times 5\left(-1\right)\right)+5\times 5\times 3
For the 2\times 2 matrix \left(\begin{matrix}a&b\\c&d\end{matrix}\right), the determinant is ad-bc.
3\left(-3\right)-\left(-2\left(-5\right)\right)+5\times 15
Simplify.
56
Add the terms to obtain the final result.
