Evaluate $\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1 & x & y \\ 1 & x+y & y \\ 1 & x & x+y\end{array}\right|$
A
$x y$
B
$x^2 y$
C
$x^2 y^2$
D
$x y^2$
Solution
$\Delta=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1 & x & y \\ 1 & x+y & y \\ 1 & x & x+y\end{array}\right|$
Applying $R_{2} \rightarrow R_{2}-R_{1}$ and $R_{3} \rightarrow R_{3}-R_{1},$ we have:
$\Delta=\left|\begin{array}{lll}1 & x & y \\ 0 & y & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & x\end{array}\right|$
Expanding along $C_{1},$ we have:
$\Delta=1(x y-0)=x y$
