Prove that:
∣∣
∣∣a2+2a2a+112a+1a+21331∣∣
∣∣=(a−1)3
We have to prove,
=∣∣
∣∣a2+2a2a+112a+1a+21331∣∣
∣∣=(a−1)3∴LHS=∣∣
∣∣a2+2a2a+112a+1a+21331∣∣
∣∣=∣∣
∣∣a2+2a−2a−12a+1−a−202a+1−3a+2−30331∣∣
∣∣[∵R1→R1−R2 and R2→R2−R3]=∣∣
∣
∣∣(a−1)(a+1)(a−1)02(a−1)(a−1)0331∣∣
∣
∣∣=(a−1)2∣∣
∣∣(a+1)10210331∣∣
∣∣
[taking (a - 1) common from R1 and R2 each]
=(a−1)2[1(a+1)−2]=(a−1)3
=RHS
Hence proved.
