If the system of equations $ax + y + z = 0$, $x + by + z = 0$ and $x + y + cz = 0 $, where $a,b,c \ne 1,$ has a non trivial solution, then the value of $\frac{1}{{1 – a}} + \frac{1}{{1 – b}} + \frac{1}{{1 – c}}$is

Show that $\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1+a & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 1+b & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & 1+c\end{array}\right|=a b c\left(1+\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}+\frac{1}{c}\right)=a b c+b c+c a+a b$

By using properties of determinants, show that:

$\left|\begin{array}{lll}x & x^{2} & y z \\ y & y^{2} & z x \\ z & z^{2} & x y\end{array}\right|=(x-y)(y-z)(z-x)(x y+y z+z x)$

A value of $\theta  \in  (0, \pi /3)$, for which $\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
  {1 + {{\cos }^2}\,\theta }&{{{\sin }^2}\,\theta }&{4\,\cos \,6\theta } \\ 
  {{{\cos }^2}\,\theta }&{1 + {{\sin }^2}\,\theta }&{4\,\cos \,6\theta } \\ 
  {{{\cos }^2}\,\theta }&{{{\sin }^2}\,\theta }&{1 + 4\,\cos \,6\theta } 
\end{array}} \right| = 0$, is

If $ab + bc + ca = 0$ and $\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{a – x}&c&b\\c&{b – x}&a\\b&a&{c – x}\end{array}\,} \right| = 0$, then one of the value of $x$ is
