(Determinants)

Consider matrix A =

| 0 1 5 |

| 3 -6 9 |

| 2 6 1 |

Calculate the determinant of A three ways

First, use the definition and go along

the first row. Second, go along the 3rd column.

Finally, row reduce the matrix to an upper-triangular form

and calculate the determinant of the upper-triangular form.

Then, use the properties of what effect the three types

of elementary row operations have on the determinant of the

matrix A vs the determinant of the upper-triangular

form to calculate the determinant of A
