• Expand a determinant along a specified column
• Select an efficient row or column for cofactor expansion
• Calculate cofactors of a matrix
• Expand a determinant along a specified row
• Apply properties of matrix transposes
• Calculate minors of a 3 by 3 matrix
• Construct the cofactor matrix
• Identify the minor associated with a matrix element
