[d e f]
[g h i]
How do I find the determinant of a large matrix?
For large matrices, the determinant can be calculated using a method called expansion by minors. This involves expanding the determinant along one of the rows or columns and using the determinants of smaller matrices to find the determinant of the original matrix.
