Ans: The given function is $ \text{y=}\left| \begin{align} & \text{f(x)}\,\,\,\text{g(x)}\,\,\,\text{h(x)} \\ & \text{ l}\ \ \ \ \ \ \text{m n} \\ & \text{ a b c } \\ \end{align} \right| $
Evaluate the determinant.
$ \text{y=(mc-nb)f(x)-(lc-na)g(x)+(lb-ma)h(x)} $ .
Now, differentiating both sides with respect to $ \text{x} $ gives
$ \begin{align}& \dfrac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\text{=}\dfrac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ (mc-nb)f(x) }\!\!]\!\!\text{ -}\dfrac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ (lc-na)g(x) }\!\!]\!\!\text{ +}\dfrac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ (lb-ma)h(x) }\!\!]\!\!\text{ } \\ & \text{=(mc-nb)f(x)-(lc-na)g(x)+(lb-ma)h(x)} \\ & =\left| \begin{matrix}\text{f}'\left(\text{x}\right)&\text{g}'\left(\text{x}\right)&\text{h}'\left(\text{x} \right) \\\text{l} & \text{m} & \text{n} \\\text{a} & \text{b} & \text{c} \\\end{matrix} \right| \\ \end{align} $
Hence, $\dfrac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\text{=}\left|\begin{matrix}\text{f}'\left(\text{x}\right)&\text{g }'\left( \text{x} \right) & \text{h }'\left( \text{x} \right) \\\text{l} & \text{m} & \text{n} \\\text{a} & \text{b} & \text{c} \\\end{matrix} \right| $
