C4−C1:   determinant ((3,1,5,0),(4,3,8,1),(6,2,1,1),(8,5,8,(−7)))  C1−C2×3 and C3−C2×5:   determinant ((0,1,0,0),((−5),3,(−7),1),(0,2,(−9),1),((−7),5,(−17),(−7)))  =− determinant (((−5),(−7),1),(0,(−9),1),((−7),(−17),(−7)))  =−1×(−5)(9×7+17×1)−1×(−7)(−7×1+9×1)  =5×80+7×2  =414

$$\mathrm{C4}−\mathrm{C1}: \\ $$$$\begin{vmatrix}{\mathrm{3}}&{\mathrm{1}}&{\mathrm{5}}&{\mathrm{0}}\\{\mathrm{4}}&{\mathrm{3}}&{\mathrm{8}}&{\mathrm{1}}\\{\mathrm{6}}&{\mathrm{2}}&{\mathrm{1}}&{\mathrm{1}}\\{\mathrm{8}}&{\mathrm{5}}&{\mathrm{8}}&{−\mathrm{7}}\end{vmatrix} \\ $$$$\mathrm{C1}−\mathrm{C2}×\mathrm{3}\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{C3}−\mathrm{C2}×\mathrm{5}: \\ $$$$\begin{vmatrix}{\mathrm{0}}&{\mathrm{1}}&{\mathrm{0}}&{\mathrm{0}}\\{−\mathrm{5}}&{\mathrm{3}}&{−\mathrm{7}}&{\mathrm{1}}\\{\mathrm{0}}&{\mathrm{2}}&{−\mathrm{9}}&{\mathrm{1}}\\{−\mathrm{7}}&{\mathrm{5}}&{−\mathrm{17}}&{−\mathrm{7}}\end{vmatrix} \\ $$$$=−\begin{vmatrix}{−\mathrm{5}}&{−\mathrm{7}}&{\mathrm{1}}\\{\mathrm{0}}&{−\mathrm{9}}&{\mathrm{1}}\\{−\mathrm{7}}&{−\mathrm{17}}&{−\mathrm{7}}\end{vmatrix} \\ $$$$=−\mathrm{1}×\left(−\mathrm{5}\right)\left(\mathrm{9}×\mathrm{7}+\mathrm{17}×\mathrm{1}\right)−\mathrm{1}×\left(−\mathrm{7}\right)\left(−\mathrm{7}×\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{9}×\mathrm{1}\right) \\ $$$$=\mathrm{5}×\mathrm{80}+\mathrm{7}×\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{414} \\ $$
