[SOLVED] Vandermonde Matrix - Help!
Hi everyone, I am new to the forum.
I'm bit confused in a particular 3by3 Vandermonde Matrix question and really appreciate if someone can help me with it.
1 1 1
det x y z = (x-y) (y-z) (z-x)
x^2 y^2 z^2
I have not made an attemt to the question as I haven't got a clue.
Your help and time are much appreciated. thanksPS. Just realized the rows are not aligned under one another but It is a 3by3 Matrix with the first rows 1, 1, 1 second Row x, y, z and the third row x^2, y^2, z^2.
