Question

In Parts A & b, evaluate det(A) by a cofactor expansion along a row or column of your choice.

Below are two matrices labeled \( A \), each containing different elements. 

The first matrix \( A \) is a 3x3 matrix with the following elements:

\[ A = \begin{pmatrix}
-3 & 0 & 7 \\
2 & 5 & 1 \\
-1 & 0 & 5
\end{pmatrix} \]

This matrix has entries ranging from \(-3\) to \(7\), organized in three rows and three columns.

The second matrix \( A \) is also a 3x3 matrix but with elements defined in terms of a variable \( k \):

\[ A = \begin{pmatrix}
1 & k & k^2 \\
1 & k & k^2 \\
1 & k & k^2
\end{pmatrix} \]

In this matrix, the elements in each row are identical, comprising \( 1 \), \( k \), and \( k^2 \). This structure results in three identical rows.

### Explanation:

1. **First Matrix**
   - **Element in the first row, first column**: -3
   - **Element in the first row, second column**: 0
   - **Element in the first row, third column**: 7
   - **Element in the second row, first column**: 2
   - **Element in the second row, second column**: 5
   - **Element in the second row, third column**: 1
   - **Element in the third row, first column**: -1
   - **Element in the third row, second column**: 0
   - **Element in the third row, third column**: 5

2. **Second Matrix**
   - **Each row contains the following elements**: 1, \( k \), and \( k^2 \)

These matrices are typically used to illustrate different concepts in linear algebra, such as matrix operations, determinants, and the properties of matrix elements.
