Find the value of \(\begin{vmatrix}0 & 3 & 2 \\1 & 7 & 8 \\0 & 5 & 4\end{vmatrix}\).
- 12
- 10
- -1
-
-2
The correct answer is: D
Explanation
\(0 \begin{vmatrix}7 & 8 \\5 & 4\end{vmatrix} -3 \begin{vmatrix}1 & 8 \\0 & 4\end{vmatrix} +2 \begin{vmatrix}1 & 7 \\0 & 5\end{vmatrix}\)
= 0(28 - 40) - 3(4 - 0) + 2(5 - 0)
= 0(-12) - 3(4) + 2(5)
= 0 - 12 + 10
= -2
