Q. Evaluate the following determinants,
$\left|\begin{matrix}a+ib&c+id\\ -c+id&a-id\end{matrix}\right|\quad$

Determinants

Solution:

We have, $\left|\begin{matrix}a+ib&c+id\\ -c+id&a-ib\end{matrix}\right|$
$=\left(a+ib\right)\left(a-ib\right)-\left(c+id\right)\left(-c+id\right)$
$=\left(a^{2}+b^{2}\right)-\left(-c^{2}-d^{2}\right)=a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}+d^{2}$
