Question
Prove that:
$\begin{vmatrix}1&\text{a}^2+\text{bc}&\text{a}^3\\1&\text{b}^2+\text{ca}&\text{b}^3\\1&\text{c}^2+\text{ab}&\text{c}^3 \end{vmatrix}$
$=-(\text{a}-\text{b})(\text{b}-\text{c})(\text{c}-\text{b})(\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2+\text{c}^2)$

Answer

$\begin{vmatrix}1&\text{a}^2+\text{bc}&\text{a}^3\\1&\text{b}^2+\text{ca}&\text{b}^3\\1&\text{c}^2+\text{ab}&\text{c}^3 \end{vmatrix}$
$=-(\text{a}-\text{b})(\text{b}-\text{c})(\text{c}-\text{b})(\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2+\text{c}^2)$
$\text{L.H.S}=\begin{vmatrix}1&\text{a}^2+\text{bc}&\text{a}^3\\1&\text{b}^2+\text{ca}&\text{b}^3\\1&\text{c}^2+\text{ab}&\text{c}^3 \end{vmatrix}$
Apply: $R_2 \rightarrow R_2 - R_1$ and $R_3 \rightarrow R_3 - R_1$
$=\begin{vmatrix}1&\text{a}^2+\text{bc}&\text{a}^3\\0&\text{b}^2+\text{ca}-\text{a}^2-\text{bc}&\text{b}^3-\text{a}^3\\0&\text{c}^2+\text{abb}+\text{ca}-\text{a}^2-\text{bc}&\text{c}^3-\text{a}^3 \end{vmatrix}$
$=\begin{vmatrix}1&\text{a}^2+\text{bc}&\text{a}^3\\0&(\text{b}^2-\text{a}^2)-\text{c}(\text{b}-\text{a})&\text{b}^3-\text{a}^3\\0&(\text{c}^2-\text{a}^2)-\text{b}(\text{c}-\text{a})&\text{c}^3-\text{a}^3 \end{vmatrix}$
$=\begin{vmatrix}1&\text{a}^2+\text{bc}&\text{a}^3\\0&(\text{b}-\text{a})(\text{b}+\text{a}-\text{c})&\text{b}^3-\text{a}^3\\0&(\text{c}-\text{a})(\text{c}+\text{a}-\text{b})&\text{c}^3-\text{a}^3 \end{vmatrix}$
$=(\text{b}-\text{a})(\text{c}-\text{a})\begin{vmatrix}1&\text{a}^2+\text{bc}&\text{a}^3\\0&(\text{b}+\text{a}-\text{c})&\text{b}^2+\text{a}^2+\text{ab}\\0&(\text{c}+\text{a}-\text{b})&\text{c}^2+\text{a}^2+\text{ac} \end{vmatrix}$
$=(\text{b}-\text{a})(\text{c}-\text{a})\big[(\text{b}+\text{a}-\text{c})(\text{c}^2+\text{a}^2+\text{ac})\\-(\text{b}^2+\text{a}^2+\text{ab})(\text{c}^2+\text{a}^2+\text{ac})\big]$
$=-(\text{a}-\text{b})(\text{b}-\text{c})(\text{c}-\text{b})(\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2+\text{c}^2)$
$=\text{R.H.S}$

A factory manufactures two types of screws, A and B. Each type of screw requires the use of two machines, an automatic and a hand operated. It takes 4 minutes on the automatic and 6 minutes on hand operated machines to manufacture a package of screws A, while it takes 6 minutes on automatic and 3 minutes on the hand operated machines to manufacture a package of screws B. Each machine is available for at the most 4 hours on any day. The manufacturer can sell a package of screws A at a profit of Rs 7 and screws B at a profit of Rs 10. Assuming that he can sell all the screws he manufactures, how many packages of each type should the factory owner produce in a day in order to maximise his profit? Determine the maximum profit.
