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 $R_1 → R_1 - R_2$ and $R_3 → R_3 - R_2$
$\triangle=\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}&-\text{a}&0\\\text{x}&\text{a}+\text{y}&\text{z}\\0&-\text{a}&\text{a}\end{vmatrix}$
Applying $C_2 → C_2 + C_1$​​​​​​​
$\triangle=\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}&0&0\\\text{x}&\text{a}+\text{y}&\text{z}\\0&-\text{a}&\text{a}\end{vmatrix}$
$\triangle=\text{a}[\text{a}(\text{a}+\text{x}+\text{y})+\text{az}]+0+0$
$\triangle=\text{a}^2(\text{a}+\text{x}+\text{y}+\text{z})$
