Question
$\begin{vmatrix}1+\text{a}&1&1\\1&1+\text{a}&\text{a}\\1&1&1+\text{a}\end{vmatrix}=\text{a}^3+3\text{a}^2$

Answer

$\text{L.H.S}=\begin{vmatrix}1+\text{a}&1&1\\1&1+\text{a}&\text{a}\\1&1&1+\text{a}\end{vmatrix}$
$=1+\text{a}\begin{vmatrix}1+\text{a}&1\\1&1+\text{a}\end{vmatrix}-1\begin{vmatrix}1&1\\1&1+\text{a}\end{vmatrix}+1\begin{vmatrix}1&1+\text{a}\\1&1\end{vmatrix}$
$=(1+\text{a})[(1+\text{a})^2-1]-1(1+\text{a}-1)+(1-1-\text{a})$
$=(1+\text{a})[1+\text{a}^2+2\text{a}-1]-\text{a}-\text{a}$
$=1+\text{a}+\text{a}^2+\text{a}^3+2\text{a}+2\text{a}^2-2\text{a}$
$=\text{a}^3+3\text{a}^2$
$=\text{R.H.S}$
