Question
Prove the following identities:
$\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}+\text{x}&\text{y}&\text{z}\\\text{x}&\text{a}+\text{y}&\text{z}\\\text{x}&\text{y}&\text{a}+\text{z}\end{vmatrix}=\text{a}^2(\text{a}+\text{x}+\text{y}+\text{z})$

Answer

$\text{L.H.S}=\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}+\text{x}&\text{y}&\text{z}\\\text{x}&\text{a}+\text{y}&\text{z}\\\text{x}&\text{y}&\text{a}+\text{z}\end{vmatrix}$
$=\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}+\text{x}+\text{y}+\text{z}&\text{y}&\text{z}\\\text{a}+\text{x}+\text{y}+\text{z}&\text{a}+\text{y}&\text{z}\\\text{a}+\text{x}+\text{y}+\text{z}&\text{y}&\text{a}+\text{z}\end{vmatrix} [$Applying $C_1 → C_1 + C_2 + C_3]$
$=(\text{a}+\text{x}+\text{y}+\text{z})\begin{vmatrix}1&\text{y}&\text{z}\\1&\text{a}+\text{y}&\text{z}\\1&\text{y}&\text{a}+\text{z}\end{vmatrix}$
$=(\text{a}+\text{x}+\text{y}+\text{z})\begin{vmatrix}1&\text{y}&\text{z}\\0&\text{a}&0\\0&0&\text{a}\end{vmatrix} [$Applying $R_2 → R_2 - R_1$ and $R_3 → R_2 - R_1]$
$=(\text{a}+\text{x}+\text{y}+\text{z})\text{a}^2$ [Expanding along first column]
$=\text{a}^2(\text{a}+\text{x}+\text{y}+\text{z})$
$=\text{R.H.S}$
$\therefore\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}+\text{x}&\text{y}&\text{z}\\\text{x}&\text{a}+\text{y}&\text{z}\\\text{x}&\text{y}&\text{a}+\text{z}\end{vmatrix}=\text{a}^2(\text{a}+\text{x}+\text{y}+\text{z})$
