Question
Using properties of determinants, prove the following:
$\begin{vmatrix} \text{x} &\text{x}^{2} & \text{1 + px}^{3} \\ \text{y} & \text{y}^{2} & \text{1 + py}^{3} \\ \text{z} & \text{z}^{2} & \text{1 + pz}^{3} \end{vmatrix}=\text{(1 + pxyz) (x - y)(y - z)(z - x)}$.

Answer

$\text{LHS} = \begin{vmatrix} \text{x} &\text{x}^{2} & \text{1 + px}^{3} \\ \text{y} &\text{y}^{2} & \text{1 + py}^{3}\\ \text{z} &\text{z}^{2} & \text{1 + pz}^{3} \end{vmatrix}=\begin{vmatrix} \text{x} & \text{x}^{2} & 1 \\ \text{y} & \text{y}^{2} & 1 \\ \text{z} & \text{z}^{2} & 1 \end{vmatrix}+\text{p}\begin{vmatrix} \text{x} & \text{x}^{2} & \text{x}^{3} \\ \text{y} & \text{y}^{2} & \text{y}^{3} \\ \text{z} & \text{z}^{2} & \text{z}^{3} \end{vmatrix}$
=$\begin{vmatrix} \text{1} & \text{x} & \text{x}^{2} \\ \text{1} & \text{y} & \text{y}^{2} \\ \text{1} & \text{z} & \text{z}^{2} \end{vmatrix}+\text{pxyz}\begin{vmatrix} \text{1} & \text{x} & \text{x}^{2} \\ \text{1} & \text{y} & \text{y}^{2} \\ \text{1} & \text{z} & \text{z}^{2} \end{vmatrix}$
= (1 + pxyz) $\begin{vmatrix} \text{1} & \text{x} & \text{x}^{2} \\ \text{1} & \text{y} & \text{y}^{2} \\ \text{1} & \text{z} & \text{z}^{2} \end{vmatrix}$
= (1 + pxyz) $\begin{vmatrix} \text{1} & \text{x} & \text{x}^{2} \\ \text{0} & \text{y - x} & \text{y}^{2}-\text{x}^{2} \\ \text{0} & \text{z - x} & \text{z}^{2}-\text{x}^{2} \end{vmatrix} \begin{matrix} \text{R}_{2}\rightarrow & \text{R}_{2}\text{ }-& \text{R}_{1} \\ \text{R}_{3}\rightarrow & \text{R}_{3}\text{ }-& \text{R}_{1} \\ \end{matrix}$
= (1 + pxyz) (x - y) (z - x) $\begin{vmatrix} \text{1} & \text{x} & \text{x}^{2} \\ \text{0} & \text{-1} &-\text{(x + y)} \\ \text{0} & \text{1} &\text{z + x} \end{vmatrix} $
= (1 + pxyz) (x - y) (z - x) $\begin{vmatrix} \text{1} & \text{x} & \text{x}^{2} \\ \text{0} & \text{0} &\text{z - y} \\ \text{0} & \text{1} &\text{z + x} \end{vmatrix}\text{R}_{2}\rightarrow\text{R}_{2}+\text{R}_{3} $
= (1 + pxyz) (x - y) (y - z) (z - x) $\begin{vmatrix} \text{1} & \text{x} & \text{x}^{2} \\ \text{0} & \text{0} &-\text{1} \\ \text{0} & \text{1} &\text{z + x} \end{vmatrix} $
= (1 + pxyz) (x - y) (y - z) (z - x).1 = RHS.
