Question
$\text{Evaluate:} \begin{vmatrix} a + ib & c + id \\ -c + id & a - ib \\ \end{vmatrix} $

Answer

$\begin{vmatrix} a + ib & c + id \\ -c + id & a - ib \\ \end{vmatrix} $$= (a + ib) (a - ib) - (c + id) (- c + id)$
$= [a^{2} - i^{2}b^{2} ] - [i^{2} b^{2} - c ^{2} ]$
$= (a^{2} + b ^{2} ) - (- d^{2} - c ^{2} )$
$= a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2}+ d^{2}$
