Determinant Calculation of a 6x6 Matrix

Math Problem Statement

Calculate the determinant of the given 6x6 matrix.

The image shows a matrix with the instruction in Greek, asking to calculate the determinant of the matrix. The matrix is:

5 & 2 & 3 & 2 & 0 & 0 \\ 6 & 2 & 3 & 2 & 0 & 0 \\ 5 & 3 & 3 & 2 & 0 & 0 \\ 5 & 2 & 3 & 3 & 0 & 0 \\ 2 & 1 & 8 & 3 & 4 & 5 \\ 3 & 6 & 9 & 0 & 3 & 4 \end{bmatrix}$$ Let's calculate the determinant of this 6x6 matrix. I will proceed with the calculation now.The determinant of the given matrix is approximately $$3$$. Would you like further details on how the determinant was computed or explanations of each step? Here are five follow-up questions based on this problem: 1. How is the determinant of a 6x6 matrix typically computed? 2. What does the determinant of a matrix represent in linear algebra? 3. How can you use row reduction to simplify the calculation of a determinant? 4. In what situations is the determinant of a matrix zero, and what does it signify? 5. How does the determinant relate to the invertibility of a matrix? **Tip:** For larger matrices, using a numerical method or software is often more efficient than manual calculation, especially when the matrix contains complex values.
