Let △=\(\begin{vmatrix} x & x^2 & yz\\ y & y^2 & zx\\z&z^2&xy \end{vmatrix}\)
Applying R2 → R2 − R1 and R3 → R3 − R1, we have:
△=\(\begin{vmatrix} x & x^2 & yz\\ y-x & y^2-x^3 & zx-yz\\z-x&z^2-x^2&xy-yz \end{vmatrix}\)
=\(\begin{vmatrix} x & x^2 & yz\\- (x-y) & -(x-y)(x+y)& zx-yz\\z-x&z^2-x^2&-y(z-x) \end{vmatrix}\)
=(x-y)(z-x)\(\begin{vmatrix} x & x^2 & yz\\ -1 &-x-y & z\\1&z+x&-y \end{vmatrix}\)
Applying R3 → R3 + R2, we have:
△=(x-y)(z-x)\(\begin{vmatrix} x & x^2 & yz\\ -1 &-x-y & z\\0&z-y&z-y \end{vmatrix}\)
=(x-y)(z-x)(z-y)\(\begin{vmatrix} x & x^2 & yz\\ -1 &-x-y & z\\0&1&1 \end{vmatrix}\)
Expanding along R3, we have:
△=[(x-y)(z-x)(z-y)]\(\bigg[(-1)\)\(\begin{vmatrix} x &yz \\ -1 & z \end{vmatrix}\)+1\(\begin{vmatrix} x &x^2 \\ -1 & -x-y \end{vmatrix}\) \(\bigg]\)
=[(x-y)(z-x)(z-y)][(-xz-yz)+(-x2-xy+x2)]
=(x-y)(y-z)(z-x)(xy+yz+zx)
Hence, the given result is proved.
Determine whether each of the following relations are reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.
Show that the relation R in the set R of real numbers, defined as

R = {(a, b): b = a + 1} is reflexive, symmetric or transitive.
