Question
Question: The value of determinant \(\left| \begin{matrix} 1 & x & y + z \\ 1 & y & z + x \\ 1 & z & x + y \en...
The value of determinant 111xyzy+zz+xx+y is:
A
0
B
x + y + z
C
1 + x + y + z
D
(x – y) (y – z) (z – x)
Answer
0
Explanation
Solution
Apply operation
C2 = C2 + C3
= 111x+y+zx+y+zx+y+zy+zz+xx+y
= (x + y + z) 111111y+zz+xx+y = 0
(Because two columns are identical)
