det(\left(\begin{matrix}2&-2&1\\1&2&x\\1&1&1\end{matrix}\right))
Find the determinant of the matrix using the method of diagonals.
\left(\begin{matrix}2&-2&1&2&-2\\1&2&x&1&2\\1&1&1&1&1\end{matrix}\right)
Extend the original matrix by repeating the first two columns as the fourth and fifth columns.
2\times 2-2x+1=5-2x
Starting at the upper left entry, multiply down along the diagonals, and add the resulting products.
2+x\times 2-2=2x
Starting at the lower left entry, multiply up along the diagonals, and add the resulting products.
5-2x-2x
Subtract the sum of the upward diagonal products from the sum of the downward diagonal products.
5-4x
Subtract 2x from 5-2x.
det(\left(\begin{matrix}2&-2&1\\1&2&x\\1&1&1\end{matrix}\right))
Find the determinant of the matrix using the method of expansion by minors (also known as expansion by cofactors).
2det(\left(\begin{matrix}2&x\\1&1\end{matrix}\right))-\left(-2det(\left(\begin{matrix}1&x\\1&1\end{matrix}\right))\right)+det(\left(\begin{matrix}1&2\\1&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.
2\left(2-x\right)-\left(-2\left(1-x\right)\right)+1-2
For the 2\times 2 matrix \left(\begin{matrix}a&b\\c&d\end{matrix}\right), the determinant is ad-bc.
2\left(2-x\right)-\left(-2\left(1-x\right)\right)-1
Simplify.
5-4x
Add the terms to obtain the final result.
