To show that the determinant \( \Delta = \begin{vmatrix} a & b & c \\ b & c & a \\ c & a & b \end{vmatrix} \) is negative when \( a, b, c \) are positive and unequal, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the Determinant We start with the determinant: \[ \Delta = \begin{vmatrix} a & b & c \\ b & c & a \\ c & a & b \end{vmatrix} \] ...
