### Determinant Calculation by Expansion of Cofactors

#### Problem Statement:
Use expansion by cofactors to find the determinant of the matrix.

#### Matrix:
\[
\begin{bmatrix}
4 & 6 & 0 & 0 & 7 \\
0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 3 \\
0 & 0 & 2 & 4 & 1 \\
0 & 0 & 5 & 3 & 6 \\
0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 3 
\end{bmatrix}
\]

#### Submitted Answer:
-54 ❌

#### Explanation:
The matrix shown is a 5x5 matrix, composed of integers. The task is to find the determinant using the method of cofactor expansion. The originally submitted determinant of -54 is incorrect, as indicated by the ❌ symbol.

#### Steps for Solution:
1. **Choosing a Row/Column:** 
   - Usually, rows or columns with the most zeros are selected to simplify calculations. In this case, Row 1 or Column 1 could be good options.
   
2. **Calculating the Determinant:**
   - Use the expansion formula: 
     \[
     \text{det}(A) = a_{11}C_{11} + a_{12}C_{12} + \cdots + a_{1n}C_{1n}
     \]
   - \( a_{ij} \) are the elements of the chosen row/column.
   - \( C_{ij} \) are the cofactors corresponding to each element.
   - The cofactor \( C_{ij} = (-1)^{i+j} M_{ij} \), where \( M_{ij} \) is the minor determinant after removing the i-th row and j-th column.

3. **Final Calculation:**
   - Execute the calculations for minor determinants and apply them with the respective matrix elements.
   - Sum all computed values to find the determinant.

#### Future Tips:
- Double-check your calculations, especially the signs of cofactors and minor determinants.
- Make use of properties of matrices to recognize patterns that can simplify the determinant calculation.

This methodology is crucial for solving higher-dimensional matrix determinants where manual computation is involved.
