Question
**Cofactor Expansion to Compute Determinant**

Use the cofactor expansion to compute the following determinant:

\[
\text{det} \begin{bmatrix} 
-1 & 9 & -9 \\ 
1 & 3 & -7 \\ 
-1 & 5 & -6 
\end{bmatrix} = 0
\]

**Explanation:**

This image shows a 3x3 matrix, and the task is to use cofactor expansion to find its determinant. The determinant is indicated to be zero. Cofactor expansion involves selecting a row or column and using its elements to calculate the determinant by expanding with minors and cofactors.
