Hello there, can you help me solve a question? Thanks!
![**Title: Determinant Calculation Using Cofactor Expansion**
**Instructions:**
Compute the determinant by cofactor expansion. At each step, choose a row or column that involves the least amount of computation.
**Matrix:**
\[
\begin{bmatrix}
5 & 0 & -6 & 3 & -6 \\
0 & 0 & 4 & 0 & 0 \\
6 & 4 & -7 & 5 & -8 \\
6 & 0 & 5 & 3 & -2 \\
0 & 0 & 9 & -1 & 4
\end{bmatrix}
\]
**Explanation:**
- When computing the determinant, expand along a row or column that has the most zeros to simplify calculations.
- In this example, consider expanding along the second row, which reduces the computation as it contains the most zeros.
- Perform the cofactor expansion to find the determinant. Be sure to simplify your answer after the calculation.
\[
\begin{bmatrix}
5 & 0 & -6 & 3 & -6 \\
0 & 0 & 4 & 0 & 0 \\
6 & 4 & -7 & 5 & -8 \\
6 & 0 & 5 & 3 & -2 \\
0 & 0 & 9 & -1 & 4
\end{bmatrix}
\]
**Calculation:**
Fill in the placeholder:
\[
= \boxed{\phantom{0}}
\]
(Simplify your answer.)
By focusing on the row or column with the fewest non-zero elements, computation becomes more efficient, allowing for simpler determinant calculation.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fe00cebfb-aec4-474d-8979-79a2d105b819%2F6c6de1b1-e8b9-45ee-94e9-117ba2d7fce2%2Fwr9oaul_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
