ind the value of -6 -3 -5 5 7 -6 3 9 9

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

determinant of this matrix?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-6

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

can you post a screenshot of the full thing?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can't im sorry

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I'm confused what the full question is exactly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

finding the value

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's only missing the brackets

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok so this? \[\Large \left|\begin{array}{ccc} -6 & -3 & -5\\ 5 & 7 & -6\\ 3 & 9 & 9\\ \end{array}\right|\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok so this is a determinant

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

have you learned that term?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't think i have

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

|dw:1443314924015:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok here is one method to do a determinant of a 3x3 matrix

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

step 1) focus on the first two columns (circled) |dw:1443315068425:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

copy those columns to the right of the matrix bar |dw:1443315093066:dw| keep the order the same
