The characteristic polynomial $f(\lambda)$ of the $3 \times 3$ matrix $\left(  \begin{array}{ccc} a & b & c \\ d & e & f \\ g & h & i \end{array}  \right)$ is given by the equation $f(\lambda)  = \left|  \begin{array}{ccc} \lambda - a & -b & -c \\ -d & \lambda - e & -f \\ -g & -h & \lambda - i \end{array}  \right|.$
