Question : 13
Total: 29
Using properties of determinants, prove that
|
| = 9 (3xyz + xy + yz + zx)
Solution:
Let Δ = |
|
Apply
R 2 → R 2 − R 1 , R 3 → R 3 − R 1
Δ =|
|
Expanding alongR 1 , we get
Δ = 9xz + 9xy + 9yz + 27xyz
= 9 (xz + xy + yz + 3xyz)
Apply
Δ =
Expanding along
Δ = 9xz + 9xy + 9yz + 27xyz
= 9 (xz + xy + yz + 3xyz)
