The video tutorial explains how to calculate the determinant of a 3x3 matrix using a different technique. It involves rewriting the first two columns of the matrix, calculating the products of the diagonals, and then subtracting these products to find the determinant. The process is demonstrated step-by-step, resulting in a final determinant value of +16.

What is the purpose of using a different technique to calculate the determinant of a matrix?

• To verify the result using multiple methods

• To make the calculation faster

• To avoid using complex numbers

• To simplify the matrix

What are the rewritten values of the first column of the matrix?

• 3, -1, 2

• 1, 5, 0

• 0, 4, 5

• 4, 4, -2

Which diagonal is used first in the summing process?

• Bottom right to top left

• Top left to bottom right

• Bottom left to top right

• Top right to bottom left
