STEP 1

1. The determinant is for a 2×22 \times 2 matrix.
2. The formula for the determinant of a 2×22 \times 2 matrix (abcd)\begin{pmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{pmatrix} is adbcad - bc.

STEP 2

1. Identify the elements of the matrix.
2. Apply the determinant formula.
3. Calculate the determinant.

STEP 3

Identify the elements of the matrix (9328)\begin{pmatrix} 9 & 3 \\ 2 & 8 \end{pmatrix}:
- a=9a = 9 - b=3b = 3 - c=2c = 2 - d=8d = 8

STEP 4

Apply the determinant formula for a 2×22 \times 2 matrix, which is adbcad - bc.
Determinant=(9)(8)(3)(2) \text{Determinant} = (9)(8) - (3)(2)

STEP 5

Calculate the determinant:
Determinant=726 \text{Determinant} = 72 - 6 Determinant=66 \text{Determinant} = 66
The determinant of the matrix is:
66 \boxed{66}
