5 6 -6
4 0
6 3
4
Compute the determinant using a cofactor expansion across the first row. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
(Simplify your answer.)
O A. Using this expansion, the determinant is (5)(– 18) + (4)(- 20)+(6)(12)=
O B. Using this expansion, the determinant is (5)(– 18) – (6)(– 20) + ( – 6){12) =
OC. Using this expansion, the determinant is (5)(- 18)– (4)(– 20) + (6)(12) = |
O D. Using this expansion, the determinant is (5)(- 18)+ (6)(– 20) + ( – 6)(12) =
