Q. Show that :

∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ \begin{matrix} b c - a^{2} & c a - b^{2} & a b - c^{2} - b c + c a + c b & b c - c a + a b & b c + c a - a b (a + b) (a + c) & (b + c) (b + a) & (c + a) (c + b) \end{matrix} ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ = 3 (b - c) (c - a) (a - b) (a + b + c) (b c + c a + a b)

Which of the following equations are correct?

$(i) (a + b + c)^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} - 2 (a b + b c + c a)$
$(i i) (a + b)^{3} = a^{3} + b^{3} + 3 a b (a - b)$
$(i i i) (a - b)^{3} = a^{3} - b^{3} - 3 a b (a + b)$
$(i v) a^{2} - b^{2} = (a + b) (a - b)$

If $a \neq b \neq c$ such that
