Question
Prove that:
$\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}^2+1&\text{ab}&\text{ac}\\\text{ab}&\text{b}^2+1&\text{bc}\\\text{ca}&\text{cb}&\text{c}^2+1 \end{vmatrix}=1+\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2+\text{c}^2$

Answer

Let $\text{L.H.S}=\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}^2+1&\text{ab}&\text{ac}\\\text{ab}&\text{b}^2+1&\text{bc}\\\text{ca}&\text{cb}&\text{c}^2+1 \end{vmatrix}$
$=(\text{abc})\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}+\frac{1}{\text{a}}&\text{b}&\text{c}\\\text{a}&\text{b}+\frac{1}{\text{b}}&\text{c}\\\text{a}&\text{b}&\text{c}+\frac{1}{\text{c}} \end{vmatrix}$
[Taking out a, b and c common from $R_1, R_2$ and $R_3$]
$=(\text{abc})\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}+\frac{1}{\text{a}}&\text{b}&\text{c}\\-\frac{1}{\text{a}}&\frac{1}{\text{b}}&0\\-\frac{1}{\text{a}}&0&\frac{1}{\text{c}} \end{vmatrix}$
[Applying $R_2 \rightarrow R_2 - R_1$ and $R_3 \rightarrow R_3 - R_1$]
$=(\text{abc})\Big(\frac{1}{\text{abc}}\Big)\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}^2+1&\text{b}^2&\text{c}^2\\-1&1&0\\-1&0&1\end{vmatrix}$
[Applying $C_1 \rightarrow aC_1, C_2 \rightarrow bC_2$ and $C_3 \rightarrow cC_3$]
$=\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}^2+1&\text{b}^2&\text{c}^2\\-1&1&0\\-1&0&1\end{vmatrix}$
$=(-1)\begin{vmatrix}\text{b}^2&\text{c}^2\\1&0\end{vmatrix}+(1)\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}^2+1&\text{b}^2\\-1&1\end{vmatrix}$
$=(-1)(-\text{c}^2)+(\text{a}^2+1+\text{b}^2)$
$=(\text{a}^2+1+\text{b}^2+\text{c}^2)$
$=(\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2+\text{c}^2+1)$
$=\text{R.H.S}$

A firm manufactures headache pills in two sizes A and B. Size A contains 2 grains of aspirin, 5 grains of bicarbonate and 1 grain of codeine; size B contains 1 grain of aspirin, 8 grains of bicarbonate and 66 grains of codeine.

To raise money for an orphanage, students of three schools A, B and C organised an exhibition in their locality, where they sold paper bags, scrap-books and pastel sheets made by them using recycled paper, at the rate of 20, 15 and 5 per unit respectively. School A sold 25 paper bags, 12 scrap-books and 34 pastel sheets. School B sold 22 paper bags, 15 scrap-books and 28 pastel sheets while School C sold 26 paper bags, 18 scrap-books and 36 pastel sheets. Using matrices, find the total amount raised by each school.
By such exhibition, which values are generated in the students?
