Using properties of determinants prove that:


Operating R1→aR1, R2→bR2, R3→cR3

Taking a, b, c common from C1, C2, C3 respectively

Operating R1→R1- R3, R2→R2- R3


Taking (a+b+c) common from R1, R2

Operating R3→ R3- R1- R2


Operating C1→aC1, C2→bC2

Operating C1→C1+C3, C2→C2+C3

Taking a, b, 2ab from R1, R2, R3

Expanding with R3
