Solution
Let |A| = `|("b" + "c", "a" - "c", "a" - "b"),("b" - "c", "c" + "a", "b" - "a"),("c" - "b", "c" - "a", "a" + b")|`
Put a = 0
|A| = `|("b" + "c", - "c", - "b"),("b" - "c", "c", "b"),("c" - "b", "c", "b")|`
= `"bc"|("b" + "c", -1, -1),("b" - "c", 1, 1),("c" - "b", 1, 1)|`
Since two columns identical
= bc × 0 = 0
∴ a – 0 is a factor.
That is, a is a factor.
Put b = 0 in |A|
|A| = `|("b", "a", "a" - "b"),("b", "a", "b" - "a"),(-"b", -"a", "a" + "b")|`
= `"ab" |(1, 1, "a" - "b"),(1, 1, "b" - "a"),(-1, -1, "a" + "b")|`
Since two columns identical
= ab × 0 = 0
∴ c – 0 is a factor.
That is, c is a factor.
The degree of the product of the factors abc is 3.
The degree of the product of leading diagonal elements (b + c)(c + a)(a + b) is 3.
∴ The other factor is the constant factor k.
`|("b" + "c", "a" - "c", "a" - "b"),("b" - "c", "c" + "a", "b" - "a"),("c" - "b", "c" - "a", "a" + "b")|` = kabc
Put a = 1
b = 1
c = 1
`|(1 + 1, 1 - 1, 1 - 1),(1 - 1, 1 + 1, 1 - 1),(1 - 1, 1 - 1, 1 + 1)|` = k × 1 × 1 × 1
`|(2, 0, 0),(0, 2, 0),(0, 0, 2)|` = k
2 × 2 × 2 = 8
⇒ k = 8
∴ `|("b" + "c", "a" - "c", "a" - "b"),("b" - "c", "c" + "a", "b" - "a"),("c" - "b", "c" - "a", "a" + b")|` = 8abc
