det(\left(\begin{matrix}1&2&3\\1&1&0\\9&9&10\end{matrix}\right))
Find the determinant of the matrix using the method of diagonals.
\left(\begin{matrix}1&2&3&1&2\\1&1&0&1&1\\9&9&10&9&9\end{matrix}\right)
Extend the original matrix by repeating the first two columns as the fourth and fifth columns.
10+3\times 9=37
Starting at the upper left entry, multiply down along the diagonals, and add the resulting products.
9\times 3+10\times 2=47
Starting at the lower left entry, multiply up along the diagonals, and add the resulting products.
37-47
Subtract the sum of the upward diagonal products from the sum of the downward diagonal products.

Subtract 47 from 37.
det(\left(\begin{matrix}1&2&3\\1&1&0\\9&9&10\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}1&0\\9&10\end{matrix}\right))-2det(\left(\begin{matrix}1&0\\9&10\end{matrix}\right))+3det(\left(\begin{matrix}1&1\\9&9\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.
10-2\times 10+3\left(9-9\right)
For the 2\times 2 matrix \left(\begin{matrix}a&b\\c&d\end{matrix}\right), the determinant is ad-bc.
10-2\times 10
Simplify.
-10
Add the terms to obtain the final result.
