Short Answer

Use Gaussian elimination to find the determinant of the matrices A in Exercises 1 through 10.
2. $[\begin{matrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 1 & 6 & 8 \\ - 2 & - 4 & 0 \end{matrix}]$

Therefore, the determinant of given matrix is given by,

$d e t A = 24$

Step 1: Definition

Gaussian elimination method is used to solve a system of linear equations.

Gaussian elimination provides a relatively efficient way of constructing the inverse to a matrix.

Interchanging two rows. Multiplying a row by a constant (any constant which is not zero).

Step 2: Given

Given Matrix,

$A = [\begin{matrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 1 & 6 & 8 \\ - 2 & - 4 & 0 \end{matrix}]$

Step 3: To find determinant by using Gaussian Eliminations

First, we multiply the first row by -1 and add it to the second row. Then, we multiply the first row by 2 and add it to the third row.

We get,

$A = [\begin{matrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 0 & 4 & 5 \\ 0 & 0 & 6 \end{matrix}]$

We had zero row swaps, so
