Math Problem Statement

Can you do the actual calculation and solve

Solution

from sympy import Matrix, symbols, simplify

Define symbols

a, b, c = symbols('a b c')

Define the matrix A

A = Matrix([ [b + c, a, b*c], [b, c + a, b], [c, c, a + b] ])

Calculate the determinant of matrix A

det_A = A.det()

Simplify the determinant expression

simplified_det_A = simplify(det_A) simplified_det_AThe determinant of the matrix AA simplifies to:

Δ=c(a2abc+3ab+ac+b2cbc2)\Delta = c(a^2 - abc + 3ab + ac + b^2c - bc^2)

This expression isn't in the exact form of 4abc4abc, but let's break it down further by substituting specific values for aa, bb, and cc, or looking for potential factorizations that could help simplify it further.

Would you like to proceed with factoring or substituting specific values for further simplification?
