what do u think I am suppossed to do?

anonymous · Answer

hey pippa, so I kinda know half of the problem:
SO just find the determinante, and you will get: 
Det= $$1(bc^3-cb^3)-1(ac^3-a^3c)+1(ab^3-ba^3)$$
however, now when you take out the brackets you have to simplify it, by grouping terms, which is very nasty and I did not attempt doing. 
But, hopefully someone will come and finish it off, in the mean time you try and solve the rest. 
so after you take out brackets you will get:
$$(bc^3-cb^3-ac^3+a^3c+ab^3-ba^3)$$

lol, you shoulda said that haha

anonymous · Answer

but like i tried opening that ugly looking equation and like its nothing like that

anonymous · Answer

i cants think of a way to group them and factor it out, yeh i know

anonymous · Answer

So ugly I wonder if I may not be understanding the question

anonymous · Answer

haha, eventually you will figure it out.. so have fun till then
