Question
Evaluate $\begin{bmatrix}5&4&3\\3&4&1\\5&6&1\end{bmatrix}$is:
  1. 4
  2. -24
  3. -8
  4. 8

Answer

  1. -8

Solution:

Expanding along the first row, we get

$\triangle=5\begin{bmatrix}4&1\\6&1\end{bmatrix}-4\begin{bmatrix}3&1\\5&1\end{bmatrix}+3\begin{bmatrix}3&4\\5&6\end{bmatrix}$

$=5(4-6)-4(3-5)+3(18-20)$

$=5(-2)-4(-2)+3(-2)=-10+8-6=-8.$
