Steps Using Sarrus' Rule

Find the determinant of the matrix using the method of diagonals.

$$det(\left(\begin{matrix}2&3&5\\7&2&0\\1&1&0\end{matrix}\right))$$

Extend the original matrix by repeating the first two columns as the fourth and fifth columns.

$$\left(\begin{matrix}2&3&5&2&3\\7&2&0&7&2\\1&1&0&1&1\end{matrix}\right)$$

Starting at the upper left entry, multiply down along the diagonals, and add the resulting products.

$$5\times 7=35$$

Starting at the lower left entry, multiply up along the diagonals, and add the resulting products.

$$2\times 5=10$$

Subtract the sum of the upward diagonal products from the sum of the downward diagonal products.

$$35-10$$

Subtract 10 from 35.

Steps Using Expansion by Minors

Find the determinant of the matrix using the method of expansion by minors (also known as expansion by cofactors).

$$det(\left(\begin{matrix}2&3&5\\7&2&0\\1&1&0\end{matrix}\right))$$

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.

$$2det(\left(\begin{matrix}2&0\\1&0\end{matrix}\right))-3det(\left(\begin{matrix}7&0\\1&0\end{matrix}\right))+5det(\left(\begin{matrix}7&2\\1&1\end{matrix}\right))$$

For the 2\times 2 matrix \left(\begin{matrix}a&b\\c&d\end{matrix}\right), the determinant is ad-bc.

$$5\left(7-2\right)$$

Simplify.

$$5\times 5$$

Add the terms to obtain the final result.
