Using telescoping sum to solve this identity of product integrals

23 Views Asked by At

I want to show that:

$$\prod_{j}(1+a_{j})-\prod_{j}(1+b_{j})=\sum_{j}(\prod_{i < j}(1+a_{i})(a_{j}-b_{j})\prod_{k > j}(1+b_{k}))$$

The only hint I have is that I can replace $$ a_j - b_j = (1-a_j ) + ( 1-b_j) $$

I see there are $a_j$ and $-b_j$ terms after expansion of the RHS of the equation but I do not understand how the cross terms become zero.
