3. |1 x x^2|
Which one of the following does NOT equal |1 y y^2|
|1 z z^2|
| 1 x(x+1) x+1|
A. | 1 y(y+1) y+1|
| 1 z(z+1) z+1|
| 1 x+1 x^2+1|
B. | 1 y+1 y^2+1|
| 1 z+1 z^2+1|
| 0 x-y x^2-y^2|
C. | 0 y-z y^2-z^2|
| 1 z z^2|
| 2 x+y x^2 + y^2|
D. | 2 y+z y^2 + z^2|
| 1 z z^2|
Answer : (A)
Explanation :
Detailed Method
TBD (Using row/column manipulations).
Substitution Method :
Lets assume x = 1, y = 2, z = 3.
Original Matrix Det
|1 x x^2| | 1 1 1 |
Option A matrix Det
| 1 x(x+1) x+1| | 1 2 2 |
| 1 y(y+1) y+1| = | 1 6 3 | = -2
| 1 z(z+1) z+1| | 1 12 4 |
The det of this matrix is not equal to det of original matrix, so answer is A.
But, anyway, lets calculate the det of other matrices for safety.
| 1 x+1 x^2+1| | 1 2 2 |
B. | 1 y+1 y^2+1| = | 1 3 5 | = 2
| 1 z+1 z^2+1| | 1 4 10|
| 0 x-y x^2-y^2| | 0 -1 -3 |
C. | 0 y-z y^2-z^2| = | 0 -1 -5 | = 2
| 1 z z^2| | 1 3 9 |
| 2 x+y x^2 + y^2| | 2 3 5 |
D. | 2 y+z y^2 + z^2| = | 2 5 13| = 2
| 1 z z^2| | 1 3 9 |
you can clearly see Det of other matrices is 2, which is equal to det of the original matrix in the question.
| 1 z(z+1) z+1|
| 1 x+1 x^2+1|
B. | 1 y+1 y^2+1|
| 1 z+1 z^2+1|
| 0 x-y x^2-y^2|
C. | 0 y-z y^2-z^2|
| 1 z z^2|
| 2 x+y x^2 + y^2|
D. | 2 y+z y^2 + z^2|
| 1 z z^2|

Lets assume x = 1, y = 2, z = 3.
Original Matrix Det
|1 x x^2| | 1 1 1 |
|1 y y^2| = | 1 2 4 | = 1(18-12)-1(9-4)+1(3-2) = 6-5+1 = 2
|1 z z^2| | 1 3 9 |
Option A matrix Det
| 1 x(x+1) x+1| | 1 2 2 |
| 1 y(y+1) y+1| = | 1 6 3 | = -2
| 1 z(z+1) z+1| | 1 12 4 |
