This leaflet will show you how to find the determinant of a 3 × 3 matrix. We will choose the third column with elements 3, 1, 0. The determinant is then given by. Note that we don’t need to work out the cofactor of 0 since it is going to be multiplied by zero. 5 2 = 35 + 4 = 39. The place sign of 3 is. 7 +, so the cofactor is 39. −1 4 − 2 = 26.
The determinant of a matrix is equal to the determinant of the transposed matrix i.e. Therefore, if there is a zero in the first column, transpose and calculate the determinant or use the alternative formula.

the determinant of a 3 3 transformation matrix gives the volume scale factor of the transformation. A negative determinant indicates that the orientation of the image is reversed by the transformation, as in a re ection, for example.
