Evaluate the following determinants :

open vertical bar table row straight a cell space straight h end cell cell space space straight g end cell row straight h cell space space straight b end cell cell space space space straight f end cell row straight g cell space space straight f end cell cell space space straight c end cell end table close vertical bar

Solution
Let space space increment space equals space open vertical bar table row straight a cell space straight h end cell cell space space straight g end cell row straight h cell space space straight b end cell cell space space space straight f end cell row straight g cell space space straight f end cell cell space space straight c end cell end table close vertical bar
space space space space space space space space space space space space equals space straight a space open vertical bar table row straight b cell space space straight f end cell row straight f cell space space straight c end cell end table close vertical bar space minus straight h space open vertical bar table row straight h cell space space space space space straight f end cell row straight g cell space space space space space straight c end cell end table close vertical bar minus straight h space open vertical bar table row straight h cell space space space space space straight f end cell row straight g cell space space space space space straight c end cell end table close vertical bar space plus straight g space space space open vertical bar table row straight h cell space space space space space straight f end cell row straight g cell space space space space space straight c end cell end table close vertical bar
space space space space space space space space space space space space space equals straight a left parenthesis bc minus straight f to the power of 2 space end exponent right parenthesis space minus straight h space left parenthesis ch minus fg right parenthesis plus straight g left parenthesis hf minus bg right parenthesis
space space space space space space space space space space space space space equals abc minus af squared space minus ch squared space plus fgh plus fgh minus bg squared
space space space space space space space space space space space space space equals abc plus 2 fgh minus af squared space minus hg squared minus ch squared
