Using properties of determinants, prove that
open vertical bar table row straight x cell space straight x squared end cell cell space yz end cell row straight y cell space straight y squared end cell cell space zx end cell row straight z cell space straight z squared end cell cell space xy end cell end table close vertical bar space equals space left parenthesis straight x minus straight y right parenthesis thin space left parenthesis straight y minus straight z right parenthesis thin space left parenthesis straight z minus straight x right parenthesis thin space left parenthesis xy plus yz plus zx right parenthesis

Solution

L.H.S. = open vertical bar table row straight x cell space straight x squared end cell cell space yz end cell row straight y cell space straight y squared end cell cell space zx end cell row straight z cell space straight z squared end cell cell space xy end cell end table close vertical bar
        equals space 1 over xyz open vertical bar table row cell straight x squared end cell cell space space straight x cubed end cell cell space space xyz end cell row cell straight y squared end cell cell space space straight y cubed end cell cell space space xyz end cell row cell straight z squared end cell cell space space straight z cubed end cell cell space xyz end cell end table close vertical bar space equals space xyz over xyz space open vertical bar table row cell straight x squared end cell cell space straight x cubed end cell cell space space 1 end cell row cell straight y squared end cell cell space straight y cubed end cell cell space 1 end cell row cell straight z squared end cell cell space straight z cubed end cell cell space 1 end cell end table close vertical bar space equals space open vertical bar table row 1 cell space straight x squared end cell cell space straight x cubed end cell row 1 cell space straight y squared end cell cell space straight y cubed end cell row 1 cell space straight z squared end cell cell space straight z cubed end cell end table close vertical bar
equals space open vertical bar table row 1 cell space space space straight x squared end cell cell space space space straight x cubed end cell row 0 cell space space space space straight y squared minus straight x squared end cell cell space space space space space straight y cubed minus straight x cubed end cell row 0 cell space space space straight z squared minus straight x squared end cell cell space space straight z cubed minus straight x cubed end cell end table close vertical bar comma space by space straight R subscript 2 minus straight R subscript 2 comma space straight R subscript 3 minus straight R subscript 1
equals space open vertical bar table row cell straight y squared minus straight x squared end cell cell space space space space straight y cubed minus straight x cubed end cell row cell straight z squared minus straight x squared end cell cell space space space space straight z cubed minus straight x cubed end cell end table close vertical bar space equals space space open vertical bar table row cell left parenthesis straight y minus straight x right parenthesis thin space left parenthesis straight y plus straight x right parenthesis end cell cell left parenthesis straight y minus straight x right parenthesis thin space left parenthesis straight y squared plus straight x squared plus yx right parenthesis end cell row cell left parenthesis straight z minus straight x right parenthesis space left parenthesis straight z plus straight x right parenthesis end cell cell left parenthesis straight z minus straight x right parenthesis thin space left parenthesis straight z squared plus straight x squared plus zx right parenthesis end cell end table close vertical bar
