Question
Prove that:
$\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}-\text{b}-\text{c}&2\text{a}&2\text{a}\\2\text{b}&\text{b}-\text{c}-\text{a}&2\text{b}\\2\text{c}&2\text{c}&\text{c}-\text{a}-\text{b} \end{vmatrix}=(\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c})^3$

Answer

$\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}-\text{b}-\text{c}&2\text{a}&2\text{a}\\2\text{b}&\text{b}-\text{c}-\text{a}&2\text{b}\\2\text{c}&2\text{c}&\text{c}-\text{a}-\text{b} \end{vmatrix}=(\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c})^3$
$\text{L.H.S}=\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}-\text{b}-\text{c}&2\text{a}&2\text{a}\\2\text{b}&\text{b}-\text{c}-\text{a}&2\text{b}\\2\text{c}&2\text{c}&\text{c}-\text{a}-\text{b} \end{vmatrix}$
Apply: R1 → R1 + R2 + R3
$\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c}&\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c}&\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c}\\2\text{b}&\text{b}-\text{c}-\text{a}&2\text{b}\\2\text{c}&2\text{c}&\text{c}-\text{a}-\text{b} \end{vmatrix}$
Take (a + b + c) common from R1
$=(\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c})\begin{vmatrix}1&1&1\\2\text{b}&\text{b}-\text{c}-\text{a}&2\text{b}\\2\text{c}&2\text{c}&\text{c}-\text{a}-\text{b} \end{vmatrix}$
Apply: C2 → C2 - C1, C3 → C3 - C1
$=(\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c})\begin{vmatrix}1&0&0\\2\text{b}&-\text{b}-\text{c}-\text{a}&0\\2\text{c}&2\text{c}&-\text{c}-\text{a}-\text{b} \end{vmatrix}$
$=(\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c})\begin{vmatrix}1&0&0\\2\text{b}&\text{b}+\text{c}+\text{a}&0\\2\text{c}&2\text{c}&\text{c}+\text{a}+\text{b} \end{vmatrix}$
$=(\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c})^3$
$=\text{R.H.S}$
