The companion matrix of a monic polynomial p(t)=tn+cn1tn1++c1t+c0p(t) = t^n + c_{n-1}t^{n-1} + \cdots + c_1 t + c_0 is: C=(000c0100c1010c2001cn1)C = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 0 & \cdots & 0 & -c_0 \\ 1 & 0 & \cdots & 0 & -c_1 \\ 0 & 1 & \cdots & 0 & -c_2 \\ \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots & \vdots \\ 0 & 0 & \cdots & 1 & -c_{n-1} \end{pmatrix}

For p(t)=t32t2+3t1p(t) = t^3 - 2t^2 + 3t - 1, what is det(C)\det(C)?
