Evaluate the determinant of the matrix.
3 x 3
*I am going down the row and then over.*
[-4, 0,-2 5, 4, -5 6, 4, 4]
Determinant = (-4)(4)(4) + (0)(-5)(6) + (-2)(5)(4) - (6)(4)(-2) - (0)(5)(4) - (-5)(4)(4)
Determinant = -64 + 0 - 40 + 48 - 0 - 80
Determinant = -56
Therefore, the determinant of the given 3x3 matrix is -56.
