Question

How do you solve this?​

Answer 1

$\text{L.H.S}\\\\=\begin{vmatrix} 1 & bc& b+c\\ 1 & ca& c+a\\ 1 &ab&a+b\end{vmatrix}\\\\\\=\begin{vmatrix} 1 & bc& b+c-(a+b+c)\\ 1 & ca& c+a-(a+b+c)\\ 1 &ab&a+b-(a+b+c)\end{vmatrix}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~;c_3\rightarrow c_3 -(a+b+c)c_1\\\\\\=\begin{vmatrix} 1 & bc& -a\\ 1 & ca& -b\\ 1 &ab&-c\end{vmatrix}\\\\\\=\dfrac 1{abc}\begin{vmatrix} a & abc& -a^2\\ b & abc& -b^2\\ c &abc&-c^2\end{vmatrix}\\\\\\=-\dfrac {abc}{abc}\begin{vmatrix} a & 1& a^2\\ b & 1& b^2\\ c &1&c^2\end{vmatrix}$

$=-1\begin{vmatrix} a & 1& a^2\\ b & 1& b^2\\ c &1&c^2\end{vmatrix}\\\\\\=-1 \times -1 \begin{vmatrix} 1 & a& a^2\\ 1 & b& b^2\\ 1 &c&c^2\end{vmatrix}\\\\\\=\begin{vmatrix} 1 & a& a^2\\ 1 & b& b^2\\ 1 &c&c^2\end{vmatrix}\\\\\\=\text{R.H.S}\\\\\text{Showed.}$
