By using properties of determinants, show that:

$\left|\begin{array}{ccc}x+4 & 2 x & 2 x \\ 2 x & x+4 & 2 x \\ 2 x & 2 x & x+4\end{array}\right|=(5 x+4)(4-x)^{2}$

$\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{1 + x}&1&1\\1&{1 + y}&1\\1&1&{1 + z}\end{array}\,} \right| = $

By using properties of determinants, show that:

$\left|\begin{array}{ccc}y+k & y & y \\ y & y+k & y \\ y & y & y+k\end{array}\right|=k^{2}(3 x+k)$

If $x$ is a positive integer, then $\Delta = \left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{x!}&{(x + 1)!}&{(x + 2)!}\\{(x + 1)!}&{(x + 2)!}&{(x + 3)!}\\{(x + 2)!}&{(x + 3)!}&{(x + 4)!}\end{array}\,} \right|$ is equal to

Let $P=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3 & -1 & -2 \\ 2 & 0 & \alpha \\ 3 & -5 & 0\end{array}\right]$, where $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$. Suppose $Q=\left[q_{i j}\right]$ is a matrix such that $P Q=k I$, where $k \in \mathbb{R}, k \neq 0$ and $I$ is the identity matrix of order $3$ . If $q_{23}=-\frac{k}{8}$ and $\operatorname{det}(Q)=\frac{k^2}{2}$, then

($A$) $\quad \alpha=0, k=8$

($B$) $4 \alpha-k+8=0$

($C$) $\operatorname{det}(P \operatorname{adj}(Q))=2^9$

($D$) $\operatorname{det}(Q \operatorname{adj}(P))=2^{13}$
