Steps Using Sarrus' Rule

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

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

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

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

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

$$1+3\left(-2\right)=-5$$

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

$$-2-1=-3$$

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

$$-5-\left(-3\right)$$

Subtract -3 from -5.

Steps Using Expansion by Minors

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

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

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.

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

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

$$-\left(-2\right)-\left(-1-1\right)+3\left(-2\right)$$

Simplify.

$$2-\left(-2\right)+3\left(-2\right)$$

Add the terms to obtain the final result.
