The value of the determinant ⎛⎜⎝xax+ayby+bzcz+c∣∣
∣
∣∣ is
⎛⎜⎝xax+ayby+bzcz+c∣∣ ∣ ∣∣ The upper matrix can be expressed as the sum of two determinants as⎛⎜⎝xaaybbzcc∣∣ ∣ ∣∣+⎛⎜⎝xaxybyzcz∣∣ ∣ ∣∣ Since, two columns are same in both the matrices,⇒⎛⎜⎝xaaybbzcc∣∣ ∣ ∣∣ = 0 and ⎛⎜⎝xaxybyzcz∣∣ ∣ ∣∣ =0Hence, their sum is 0
