det(\left(\begin{matrix}5&3&0\\-1&2&-2\\-3&3&1\end{matrix}\right))
Find the determinant of the matrix using the method of diagonals.
\left(\begin{matrix}5&3&0&5&3\\-1&2&-2&-1&2\\-3&3&1&-3&3\end{matrix}\right)
Extend the original matrix by repeating the first two columns as the fourth and fifth columns.
5\times 2+3\left(-2\right)\left(-3\right)=28
Starting at the upper left entry, multiply down along the diagonals, and add the resulting products.
3\left(-2\right)\times 5-3=-33
Starting at the lower left entry, multiply up along the diagonals, and add the resulting products.
28-\left(-33\right)
Subtract the sum of the upward diagonal products from the sum of the downward diagonal products.

Subtract -33 from 28.
det(\left(\begin{matrix}5&3&0\\-1&2&-2\\-3&3&1\end{matrix}\right))
Find the determinant of the matrix using the method of expansion by minors (also known as expansion by cofactors).
5det(\left(\begin{matrix}2&-2\\3&1\end{matrix}\right))-3det(\left(\begin{matrix}-1&-2\\-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.
5\left(2-3\left(-2\right)\right)-3\left(-1-\left(-3\left(-2\right)\right)\right)
For the 2\times 2 matrix \left(\begin{matrix}a&b\\c&d\end{matrix}\right), the determinant is ad-bc.
5\times 8-3\left(-7\right)
Simplify.
61
Add the terms to obtain the final result.
