Question
Using properties of determinants, prove the following:
$ \begin{vmatrix} \text{a}^{2} & \text{bc} & \text{ac + c}^{2} \\ \text{a}^{2} + \text{ab} & \text{b}^{2} & \text{ac} \\ \text{ab} & \text{b}^{2} + \text{bc} & \text{c}^{2} \end{vmatrix} = \text{4 a}^{2}\text{b}^{2}\text{c}^{2}. $
$ \begin{vmatrix} \text{a}^{2} & \text{bc} & \text{ac + c}^{2} \\ \text{a}^{2} + \text{ab} & \text{b}^{2} & \text{ac} \\ \text{ab} & \text{b}^{2} + \text{bc} & \text{c}^{2} \end{vmatrix} = \text{4 a}^{2}\text{b}^{2}\text{c}^{2}. $
