Question

By usingproperties of determinants, show that:
(i)∣ ∣abc2a2a2bbca2b2c2ccab∣ ∣=(a+b+c)3

(ii)∣ ∣x+y+2zxyzy+z+2xyzxz+x+2y∣ ∣=2(x+y+c)3

Solution

(i) LHS=∣ ∣abc2a2a2bbca2b2c2ccab∣ ∣

Applying R1 → R1+ R2 + R3, we have:
=∣ ∣a+b+ca+b+ca+b+c2bbca2b2c2ccab∣ ∣
=(a+b+c)∣ ∣1112bbca2b2c2ccab∣ ∣

Applying C2 → C2− C1, C3 →C3 − C1, we have:
=(a+b+c)∣ ∣1002bbca02c0cab∣ ∣
=(a+b+c)3∣ ∣1002b102c01∣ ∣

Expanding along first row, we have:
=(a+b+c)3[1((1)(1)0)]
=(a+b+c)3
=RHS.

Hence, the given result is proved.

(ii) Given ∣ ∣x+y+2zxyzy+z+2xyzxz+x+2y∣ ∣

Applying C1 → C1+ C2 + C3, we have:
=∣ ∣2x+2y+2zxy2x+2y+2zy+z+2xy2x+2y+2zxz+x+2y∣ ∣
=(2x+2y+2z)∣ ∣1xy1y+z+2xy1xz+x+2y∣ ∣

Applying R2 → R2− R1 and R3 →R3 − R1, we have:
=2(x+y+z)∣ ∣1xy0y+z+x000z+x+y∣ ∣
=2(x+y+z)3∣ ∣1xy010001∣ ∣

Expanding along R3, we have:
=2(x+y+z)3(1)(10)
=2(x+y+z)3

Hence, the given result is proved.
