Question

Show that 

The image shows a mathematical expression involving the determinant of a 4x4 matrix and its simplification. 

The matrix is:

\[
\begin{vmatrix}
a & a & a & a \\
a & b & b & b \\
a & b & c & c \\
a & b & c & d \\
\end{vmatrix}
\]

The expression provided is the determinant of this matrix, simplified as:

\[ 
= a(b-a)(c-b)(d-c) 
\]

This shows a step-by-step breakdown of how the determinant of this particular matrix can be simplified to a product involving the variables \(a\), \(b\), \(c\), and \(d\).
