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 simplifies to:
This expression isn't in the exact form of , but let's break it down further by substituting specific values for , , and , 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?
