A sequence of elementary matrices are applied to A to get the following result:
det (A)
0 01
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
01 0 A → 0 1 0E₁A → 0 3 0 E₂E₁ A → 01 0 E3 E2 E1A=

Compute the determinant of A and enter it below:

E2
E3
1 0 -57
0 0 1

Hint: This problem requires using the determinant properties covered in 3.1. More specifically, the properties are:
(i) If 2 rows or 2 columns of a matrix are switched, the determinant changes by -1.
(ii) If a row or a column is multiplied by a constant, the determinant is multiplied by the same constant.
(iii) If one row (column) is multiplied by a constant and is added to another row (column), the determinant remains unchanged.
