Steps Using Sarrus' Rule

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

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

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

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

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

$$2+3=5$$

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

$$2+2\times 2=6$$

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

$$5-6$$

Subtract 6 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).

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

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.

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

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

$$2-2-2\times 2+3$$

Simplify.

$$-2\times 2+3$$

Add the terms to obtain the final result.
