Question
Using properties of determinants prove that:
$\begin{vmatrix}\text{x}+4&2\text{x}&2\text{x}\\2\text{x}&\text{x}+4&2\text{x}\\2\text{x}&2\text{x}&\text{x}+4\end{vmatrix}$
$=(5\text{x}+4)(4-\text{x})^2$

Answer

$\text{L.H.S}=\begin{vmatrix}\text{x}+4&2\text{x}&2\text{x}\\2\text{x}&\text{x}+4&2\text{x}\\2\text{x}&2\text{x}&\text{x}+4\end{vmatrix}$
$=\begin{vmatrix}5\text{x}+4&5\text{x}+4&5\text{x}+4\\2\text{x}&\text{x}+4&2\text{x}\\2\text{x}&2\text{x}&\text{x}+4\end{vmatrix}$ $[$Applying $R_1 → R_1 + R_2 + R_3]$
$=5\text{x}+4\begin{vmatrix}1&1&1\\2\text{x}&\text{x}+4&2\text{x}\\2\text{x}&2\text{x}&\text{x}+4\end{vmatrix} [$Take out $5x + 4$ common from $R_1]$
$=5\text{x}+4\begin{vmatrix}1&0&0\\2\text{x}&4-\text{x}&0\\2\text{x}&2\text{x}&\text{x}+4\end{vmatrix}[ $Applying $C_2 → C_2 - C_1$ and $C_3 → C_3 - C_1]$
$=5\text{x}+4(4-\text{x})^2$
