$[\begin{array}{c} 0 & 3 & 3 \\ 1 & 4 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 & 2 \end{array}]$

Set up the determinant by breaking it into smaller components.

$0 | \begin{array}{c} 4 & 0 \\ 1 & 2 \end{array} | - 1 | \begin{array}{c} 3 & 3 \\ 1 & 2 \end{array} | + 1 | \begin{array}{c} 3 & 3 \\ 4 & 0 \end{array} |$

Since the matrix is multiplied by $0$ , the determinant is $0$ .

$0 - 1 | \begin{array}{c} 3 & 3 \\ 1 & 2 \end{array} | + 1 | \begin{array}{c} 3 & 3 \\ 4 & 0 \end{array} |$

The determinant of $- 1 | \begin{array}{c} 3 & 3 \\ 1 & 2 \end{array} |$ is $- 3$ .
