Q13 of 29 Page 1

If A + B + C =π then find the value of


OR


Using properties of determinant, prove that



As A+B+C = π


Then A + B = π – c



As sin π = 0 and cos (π - θ) = - cos θ



Expanding along C1 we get,




= sin B (tan A cos C) – cos C (sin B tan A)


= sin B tan A cos C – cos C sin B tan A


= 0


Hence value of .


OR


Applying R1 R1 + R2 + R3 in the given determinant, we get




Applying C1 C1 – 2C3




Expanding along the R1, we get the determinant as:


--


= (a + b + c)[(a + c – 2b)(c – a) – (b – c)(a + b – 2c)]


= (a + b + c)(ac – a2 + c2 – ac – 2bc + 2ab – ab – b2 + 2bc + ca + cb – 2c2)


= (a + b + c)(ab + ac + cb – a2 – b2 – c2)


= -(a + b + c)(a2 + b2 + c2 – ab – bc - cb)


= - (a3 + b3 + c3 – 3abc)


= 3abc – a3 – b3 – c3
