Your Input
Calculate $$$\left|\begin{array}{cc}- 12 e^{- 4 r} \sin{\left(3 \theta \right)} & 9 e^{- 4 r} \cos{\left(3 \theta \right)}\\4 e^{4 r} \cos{\left(3 \theta \right)} & - 3 e^{4 r} \sin{\left(3 \theta \right)}\end{array}\right|$$$.
Solution
The determinant of a 2x2 matrix is $$$\left|\begin{array}{cc}a & b\\c & d\end{array}\right| = a d - b c$$$.
$$$\left|\begin{array}{cc}- 12 e^{- 4 r} \sin{\left(3 \theta \right)} & 9 e^{- 4 r} \cos{\left(3 \theta \right)}\\4 e^{4 r} \cos{\left(3 \theta \right)} & - 3 e^{4 r} \sin{\left(3 \theta \right)}\end{array}\right| = \left(- 12 e^{- 4 r} \sin{\left(3 \theta \right)}\right)\cdot \left(- 3 e^{4 r} \sin{\left(3 \theta \right)}\right) - \left(9 e^{- 4 r} \cos{\left(3 \theta \right)}\right)\cdot \left(4 e^{4 r} \cos{\left(3 \theta \right)}\right) = - 36 \cos{\left(6 \theta \right)}$$$
Answer
$$$\left|\begin{array}{cc}- 12 e^{- 4 r} \sin{\left(3 \theta \right)} & 9 e^{- 4 r} \cos{\left(3 \theta \right)}\\4 e^{4 r} \cos{\left(3 \theta \right)} & - 3 e^{4 r} \sin{\left(3 \theta \right)}\end{array}\right| = - 36 \cos{\left(6 \theta \right)}$$$A
