Question

If $a_{1}, a_{2}, a_{3}, b_{1}, b_{2}, b_{3} \in R$ and are such that $a_{i} b_{j} \neq 1$ for $1 \leq i, j \leq 3$ , then

$∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ \begin{matrix} \frac{1 - a_{1}^{3} b_{1}^{3}}{1 - a_{1} b_{1}} & \frac{1 - a_{1}^{3} b_{2}^{3}}{1 - a_{1} b_{2}} & \frac{1 - a_{1}^{3} b_{3}^{3}}{1 - a_{1} b_{3}} \frac{1 - a_{2}^{3} b_{1}^{3}}{1 - a_{2} b_{1}} & \frac{1 - a_{2}^{3} b_{2}^{3}}{1 - a_{2} b_{2}} & \frac{1 - a_{2}^{3} b_{3}^{3}}{1 - a_{2} b_{3}} \frac{1 - a_{3}^{3} b_{1}^{3}}{1 - a_{3} b_{1}} & \frac{1 - a_{3}^{3} b_{2}^{3}}{1 - a_{3} b_{2}} & \frac{1 - a_{3}^{3} b_{3}^{3}}{1 - a_{3} b_{3}} \end{matrix} ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣$ > 0 Provided either $a_{1} < a_{2} < a_{3}$ and $b_{1} < b_{2} < b_{3}$ , or $a_{1} > a_{2} a_{3}$ and
$b_{1} > b_{2} > b_{3}$
then show $(a_{1} - a_{2}) (a_{2} - a_{3}) (a_{3} - a_{1}) (b_{1} - b_{2}) (b_{2} - b_{3}) (b_{3} - b_{1}) < 0$ ,

Solution

Since $\frac{x^{3} - y^{3}}{x - y} = \frac{(x - y) (x^{2} + x y + y^{2})}{(x - y)} = x^{2} + x y + y^{2}$
Hence the given determinant becomes

$∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ \begin{matrix} 1 + a_{1} b_{1} + a_{1}^{2} b_{1}^{2} & 1 + a_{1} b_{2} + a_{1}^{2} b_{2}^{2} & 1 + a_{1} b_{3} + a_{1}^{2} b_{3}^{2} 1 + a_{2} b_{1} + a_{2}^{2} b_{1}^{2} & 1 + a_{2} b_{2} + a_{2}^{2} b_{2}^{2} & 1 + a_{2} b_{3} + a_{2}^{2} b_{3}^{2} 1 + a_{3} b_{1} + a_{3}^{2} b_{1}^{2} & 1 + a_{3} b_{2} + a_{3}^{2} b_{2}^{2} & 1 + a_{3} b_{3} + a_{3}^{2} b_{3}^{2} \end{matrix} ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ > 0$

$\Rightarrow ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ \begin{matrix} 1 & a_{1} & a_{1}^{2} 1 & a_{2} & a_{2}^{2} 1 & a_{3} & a_{3}^{2} \end{matrix} ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ \times ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ \begin{matrix} 1 & b_{1} & b_{1}^{2} 1 & b_{2} & b_{2}^{2} 1 & b_{3} & b_{3}^{2} \end{matrix} ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ > 0$

$\Rightarrow (a_{1} - a_{2}) (a_{2} - a_{3}) (a_{3} - a_{1}) (b_{1} - b_{2}) (b_{2} - b_{3}) (b_{3} - b_{1}) > 0$
$⎧ ⎪ ⎨ ⎪ ⎩ ∵ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ \begin{matrix} 1 & a & a^{2} 1 & b & b^{2} 1 & c & c^{2} \end{matrix} ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ = (a - b) (b - c) (c - a) ⎫ ⎪ ⎬ ⎪ ⎭$
Case I
If $a_{1} < a_{2} < a_{3}$ and $b_{1} < b_{2} < b_{3}$
then $(a_{1} - a_{2}) < 0, (a_{2} - a_{3}) < 0$ and $(b_{1} - b_{2}) < 0, (b_{2} - b_{3}) < 0$
$(a_{1} - a_{3}) < 0$ $(b_{1} - b_{3}) < 0$
$∴ (a_{3} - a_{1}) > 0$ $∴ b_{3} - b_{1} > 0$
then $(a_{1} - a_{2}) (a_{2} - a_{3}) (a_{3} - a_{1}) > 0$ and
$(b_{1} - b_{2}) (b_{2} - b_{3}) (b_{3} - b_{1}) > 0$
$∴ (a_{1} - a_{2}) (a_{2} - a_{3}) (a_{3} - a_{1}) (b_{1} - b_{2}) (b_{2} - b_{3}) (b_{3} - b_{1}) > 0$
which is true.
Case II
If $a_{1} ‘ > a_{2} > a_{3}$ and $b_{1} > b_{2} > b_{3}$
$∴ a_{1} - a_{2} > 0, a_{2} - a_{3} > 0$ and $b_{1} - b_{2} > 0, b_{2} - b_{3} > 0$
$a_{1} - a_{3} > 0 \Rightarrow a_{3} - a_{1} < 0$ $b_{1} - b_{3} > 0 \Rightarrow b_{3} - b_{1} < 0$
Hence $(a_{1} - a_{2}) (a_{2} - a_{3}) (a_{3} - a_{1}) < 0$ and $(b_{1} - b_{2}) (b_{2} - b_{3}) (b_{3} - b_{1}) < 0$
$∴ (a_{1} - a_{2}) (a_{2} - a_{3}) (a_{3} - a_{1}) (b_{1} - b_{2}) (b_{2} - b_{3}) (b_{3} - b_{1}) > 0$
