det(\left(\begin{matrix}a&b&c\\5&-2&2\\3&0&2\end{matrix}\right))
Find the determinant of the matrix using the method of diagonals.
\left(\begin{matrix}a&b&c&a&b\\5&-2&2&5&-2\\3&0&2&3&0\end{matrix}\right)
Extend the original matrix by repeating the first two columns as the fourth and fifth columns.
a\left(-2\right)\times 2+b\times 2\times 3=6b-4a
Starting at the upper left entry, multiply down along the diagonals, and add the resulting products.
3\left(-2\right)c+2\times 5b=10b-6c
Starting at the lower left entry, multiply up along the diagonals, and add the resulting products.
6b-4a-\left(10b-6c\right)
Subtract the sum of the upward diagonal products from the sum of the downward diagonal products.
6c-4b-4a
Subtract -6c+10b from -4a+6b.
det(\left(\begin{matrix}a&b&c\\5&-2&2\\3&0&2\end{matrix}\right))
Find the determinant of the matrix using the method of expansion by minors (also known as expansion by cofactors).
adet(\left(\begin{matrix}-2&2\\0&2\end{matrix}\right))-bdet(\left(\begin{matrix}5&2\\3&2\end{matrix}\right))+cdet(\left(\begin{matrix}5&-2\\3&0\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.
a\left(-2\right)\times 2-b\left(5\times 2-3\times 2\right)+c\left(-3\left(-2\right)\right)
For the 2\times 2 matrix \left(\begin{matrix}a&b\\c&d\end{matrix}\right), the determinant is ad-bc.
a\left(-4\right)-b\times 4+c\times 6
Simplify.
6c-4b-4a
Add the terms to obtain the final result.
