Question
Write the value of $\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}+\text{ib}&\text{c}+\text{id}\\-\text{c}+\text{id}&\text{a}-\text{ib}\end{vmatrix}$

Answer

$\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}+\text{ib}&\text{c}+\text{id}\\-\text{c}+\text{id}&\text{a}-\text{ib}\end{vmatrix}$
$=\text{a}^2-\text{iab}+\text{iab}-\text{i}^2\text{b}^2-(-\text{c}^2-\text{icd}+\text{icd}+\text{i}^2\text{d}^2)$
$=\text{a}^2-\text{i}^2\text{b}^2+\text{c}^2-\text{i}^2\text{d}^2$
Here, $\text{i}^2=-1$
$\begin{vmatrix}\text{a}+\text{ib}&\text{c}+\text{id}\\-\text{c}+\text{id}&\text{a}-\text{ib}\end{vmatrix}=\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2+\text{c}^2+\text{d}^2$
