MCQ
If $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}2&5&9\\6&1&3\\4&8&2\end{bmatrix},$ find $|\text{A}|$
✓
$352$
B
$356$
C
$325$
D
$532$
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
$352$
$\Rightarrow|\text{A}|=\begin{bmatrix}2&5&9\\6&1&3\\4&8&2\end{bmatrix}$ Evaluating along the first row, we get
$\triangle=2\begin{bmatrix}1&3\\8&2\end{bmatrix}-5\begin{bmatrix}6&3\\4&2\end{bmatrix}+9\begin{bmatrix}6&1\\4&8\end{bmatrix}$
$\triangle=2(2-24)-5(12-12)+9(48-4)$
$\triangle=2(-22)-0+9(44) $
$\triangle=-44+9(44)=44(-1+9)=352 $
