Question

Compute the determinant by cofactor expansion. At each step, choose a row or column that involves the least amount of computation. $$\begin{bmatrix} 3 & 0 & -8 & 3 & -4 \\ 0 & 0 & 4 & 0 & 0 \\ 8 & 3 & -5 & 5 & -7 \\ 4 & 0 & 6 & 2 & -3 \\ 0 & 0 & 8 & -1 & 3 \end{bmatrix}$$ (Simplify your answer.)

Step 1

$$det(A) = 0 \cdot C_{21} + 0 \cdot C_{22} + 4 \cdot C_{23} + 0 \cdot C_{24} + 0 \cdot C_{25} = 4 \cdot C_{23}$$ where $C_{23} = (-1)^{2+3} M_{23} = -M_{23}$ and $M_{23}$ is the determinant of the 4x4 matrix obtained by deleting the second row and third Show more…
