Prove the below determinants are equal without expanding them.
\begin{vmatrix} {\alpha a_2} + {a_3}&{\beta a_3} + {a_1} & {\gamma a_1} + {a_2} \\ {\alpha b_2} + {b_3}&{\beta b_3} + {b_1} & {\gamma b_1} + {b_2} \\ {\alpha c_2} + {c_3}&{\beta c_3} + {c_1} & {\gamma c_1} + {c_2} \end{vmatrix}
=
\begin{equation}(\alpha \beta \gamma +1)\end{equation}
\begin{vmatrix} {a_1} & {a_2} & {a_3} \\ {b_1} & {b_2} & {b_3} \\ {c_1} & {c_2} & {c_3} \end{vmatrix}
I'm sorry this isn't correctly formatted - this is my first time using LATEX. Also, this is my first time working with determinants, so I'm not really sure where to go.
If we have this matrix:
\begin{vmatrix} {a_3} & {a_1} & {a_2} \\ {b_3} & {b_1} & {b_2} \\ {c_3} & {c_1} & {c_2} \end{vmatrix}
I noticed if we apply the following equations, we get the original L.H.S. of the equality to prove.
\begin{equation} {C_1} = \alpha{C_3} + {C_1} \end{equation} \begin{equation} {C_2} = \beta{C_1} + {C_2} \end{equation} \begin{equation} {C_3} = \gamma{C_2} + {C_3} \end{equation}
But I don't really know how to tie that back to the original question, or if it's useful to proving the above.
Also, I'm wondering if there's a property of determinants that allows us to switch two columns / rows around?
Would appreciate any help on this, thanks.
let $A = \pmatrix{a_1&a_2&a_3\cr b_1&b_2&b_3\cr c_1&c_2&c_3},\ B = \pmatrix{0 &1 & \gamma\cr\alpha & 0 & 1\cr1&\beta & 0}$ then by the product rule $det(AB) = det(A)det(B)$
by expanding the determinant of $B$ by the first column gibes $det(B) = 1 + \alpha\beta\gamma$ so $$det(AB) = (1+\alpha\beta\gamma)\ det(A).$$
