Question
Prove that $\begin{vmatrix}a^2&bc&ac+c^2\\a^2+ab&b^2&ac\\ab&b^2+bc&c^2\end{vmatrix}=4a^2b^2c^2$

Answer

$\triangle=\begin{vmatrix}a^2&bc&ac+c^2\\a^2+ab&b^2&ac\\ab&b^2+bc&c^2\end{vmatrix}$
Taking out common factors a, b, and c from C1, C2, and C3, we have:
$\triangle=abc\begin{vmatrix}a&c&a+c\\a+b&b&a\\b&b+c&c\end{vmatrix}$
Applying R2 → R2 + R1 and R3 → R3 - R1, we have:
$\triangle=abc\begin{vmatrix}a&c&a+c\\b&b-c&-c\\b-a&b&-a\end{vmatrix}$
Applying R2 → R2 + R1, we have:
$\triangle=abc\begin{vmatrix}a&c&a+c\\a+b&b&a\\b-a&b&-a\end{vmatrix}$
Applying R3 → R3 + R2, we have:
$\triangle=abc\begin{vmatrix}a&c&a+c\\a+b&b&a\\2b&2b&0\end{vmatrix}$
$\triangle=2ab^2c\begin{vmatrix}a&c&a+c\\a+b&b&a\\1&1&0\end{vmatrix}$
$\triangle=2ab^2c\begin{vmatrix}a&c-a&a+c\\a+b&-a&a\\1&0&0\end{vmatrix}$
Expanding along R3, we have:
$\triangle$ = 2ab2c [a(c -a) + a(a + c)]
= 2ab2c [ac - a2 + a+ ac]
= 2ab2c (2ac)
= 4a2b2c2
Hence, the given result is proved.
