Question
Evaluate the following determinant:
$\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}&\text{h}&\text{g}\\\text{h}&\text{b}&\text{f}\\\text{g}&\text{f}&\text{c}\end{vmatrix}$
✓

Answer

$\triangle=\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}&\text{h}&\text{g}\\\text{h}&\text{b}&\text{f}\\\text{g}&\text{f}&\text{c}\end{vmatrix}$
$=\text{a}\begin{vmatrix}\text{b}&\text{f}\\\text{f}&\text{c} \end{vmatrix}-\text{h}\begin{vmatrix}\text{h}&\text{f}\\\text{g}&\text{c} \end{vmatrix}+\text{g}\begin{vmatrix}\text{h}&\text{b}\\\text{g}&\text{f} \end{vmatrix}$
$=\big(\text{bc}-\text{f}^2\big)-\text{h}\big(\text{hc}-\text{fg}\big)+\text{g}\big(\text{hf}-\text{gb}\big)$
$=\text{abc}-\text{af}^2-\text{h}^2\text{c}+\text{fgh}+\text{fgh}-\text{g}^2\text{b}$
$=\text{abc}+2\text{fgh}-\text{af}^2-\text{ch}^2-\text{bg}^2$
