Solution

Let Δ=∣ ∣ ∣x2+xx+1x22x2+3x13x3x3x2+2x+32x12x1∣ ∣ ∣
Applying R1R1+R3R2
Δ=∣ ∣ ∣4002x2+3x13x3x3x2+2x+32x12x1∣ ∣ ∣

Applying C1C1C3 and C2C2C3, then
Δ=∣ ∣ ∣4002x2+233x3x2+402x1∣ ∣ ∣
Applying R2R2x22R1 and R3R3x24R1, then
Δ=∣ ∣400233x3402x1∣ ∣
=∣ ∣400233x402x∣ ∣+∣ ∣400233401∣ ∣
=x∣ ∣400233402∣ ∣+∣ ∣400233401∣ ∣
=xA+B
n=1
