Answer

4104

Work Step by Step

We are given: $A=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & -1\\ 2& 1 & 4 \end{bmatrix}$ $C=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 5\\ 3& -1 & 4\\ 2 & -2 & 6 \end{bmatrix}$ $\rightarrow AC=\begin{bmatrix} 5 & 0 & 7\\ 13& -9 & 38 \end{bmatrix} $ $B=\begin{bmatrix} 2 & 1\\ 5& -2\\ 4 & 7 \end{bmatrix}$ $\rightarrow (AC)B=\begin{bmatrix} 38 & 54\\ 133 & 297 \end{bmatrix}$ Hence here: $\det(ACB)=38.297-54.133=4104$
