Question
Evaluate the following:
$\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}+\text{x}&\text{y}&\text{z}\\\text{x}&\text{a}+\text{y}&\text{z}\\\text{x}&\text{y}&\text{a}+\text{z}\end{vmatrix}$
✓

Answer

Let $\triangle=\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}+\text{x}&\text{y}&\text{z}\\\text{x}&\text{a}+\text{y}&\text{z}\\\text{x}&\text{y}&\text{a}+\text{z}\end{vmatrix}$
Applying R1 → R1 - R2 and R3 → R3 - R2
$\triangle=\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}&-\text{a}&0\\\text{x}&\text{a}+\text{y}&\text{z}\\0&-\text{a}&\text{a}\end{vmatrix}$
Applying C2 → C2 + C1
$\triangle=\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}&0&0\\\text{x}&\text{a}+\text{y}&\text{z}\\0&-\text{a}&\text{a}\end{vmatrix}$
$\triangle=\text{a}[\text{a}(\text{a}+\text{x}+\text{y})+\text{az}]+0+0$
$\triangle=\text{a}^2(\text{a}+\text{x}+\text{y}+\text{z})$

A test for detection of a particular disease is not fool proof. The test will correctly detect the disease 90% of the time, but will incorrectly detect the disease 1% of the time. For a large population of which an estimated 0.2% have the disease, a person is selected at random, given the test, and told that he has the disease. What are the chances that the person actually have the disease?
