det(\left(\begin{matrix}5&6&7\\8&0&9\\4&3&2\end{matrix}\right))
Find the determinant of the matrix using the method of diagonals.
\left(\begin{matrix}5&6&7&5&6\\8&0&9&8&0\\4&3&2&4&3\end{matrix}\right)
Extend the original matrix by repeating the first two columns as the fourth and fifth columns.
6\times 9\times 4+7\times 8\times 3=384
Starting at the upper left entry, multiply down along the diagonals, and add the resulting products.
3\times 9\times 5+2\times 8\times 6=231
Starting at the lower left entry, multiply up along the diagonals, and add the resulting products.
384-231
Subtract the sum of the upward diagonal products from the sum of the downward diagonal products.
153
Subtract 231 from 384.
det(\left(\begin{matrix}5&6&7\\8&0&9\\4&3&2\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}0&9\\3&2\end{matrix}\right))-6det(\left(\begin{matrix}8&9\\4&2\end{matrix}\right))+7det(\left(\begin{matrix}8&0\\4&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.
5\left(-3\times 9\right)-6\left(8\times 2-4\times 9\right)+7\times 8\times 3
For the 2\times 2 matrix \left(\begin{matrix}a&b\\c&d\end{matrix}\right), the determinant is ad-bc.
5\left(-27\right)-6\left(-20\right)+7\times 24
Simplify.
153
Add the terms to obtain the final result.
