To find the determinant, we will multiply the scalars from the second row by the corresponding cofactors of the entries, and then we will sum them up.

Since we have 4×44\times 4 matrix, the minors will be 3×33\times 3 matrices. So to find the corresponding cofactors, we will expand by cofactors one more time.
