By direct computation with matrix entries, prove that

 det(AB) = det(A) det(B)

for 3 × 3 matrices A and B. [A computer-aided proof is one possibility: for two 3 × 3 matrices whose entries are symbols, have a computer algebra system compute det(AB) − det(A) det(B); the identity is proven if the result is zero.]
