To compute the determinant using a cofactor expansion across the first row, we label the matrix as \( A \): \[ A = \begin{pmatrix} 5 & 4 & -4 \\ 3 & 0 & 5 \\ 6 & 5 & 2 \end{pmatrix} \] Using cofactor expansion along the first row, we calculate: \[ \text{det}(A) = 5 \cdot C_{11} + 4 \cdot C_{12} + (-4) \cdot C_{13} \] Where \( C_{ij} \) are the cofactors. We need to find the minors: 1. For \( 5 \) (first element): \[ C_{11} = \begin{vmatrix} 0 & 5 \\ 5 & 2 \end{vmatrix} = (0)(2) - (5)(5) = -25 \] 2. For \( 4 \) (second element): \[ C_{12} = \begin{vmatrix} 3 & 5 \\ 6 & 2 \end{vmatrix} = (3)(2) - (5)(6) = 6 - 30 = -24 \] 3. For \( -4 \) (third element): \[ C_{13} = \begin{vmatrix} 3 & 0 \\ 6 & 5 \end{vmatrix} = (3)(5) - (0)(6) = 15 \] Now, plug these into the determinant formula: \[ \text{det}(A) = 5(-25) + 4(-24) + (-4)(15) \] \[ = -125 - 96 - 60 \] \[ = -281 \] Now we look at the choices given: - Option A: Using this expansion, the determinant is \( (5)(-25)+(4)(-24)+(-4)(15)= \) So, the answer that needs to be filled in is: \[ \text{det}(A) = -281 \Rightarrow (5)(-25)+(4)(-24)+(-4)(15) = -281 \]
