Expand equation (4.87) for p = 1 to calculate the following determinant:
\operatorname{det} A=\sum\limits_{s=1}^n a_{p s}\left|A_{p s}\right| (4.87)
\operatorname{det} A=\operatorname{det}\left[\begin{array}{rrr} 1 & 3 & -2 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 \\ 2 & 5 & 3 \end{array}\right]
= 1[(1)(3) – (1)(5)] – 3[(0)(3) – (2)(1)] – 2[(0)(5) – (1)(2)] = 8
