PROJECT 11.
For various values of the constant a, consider the sequence of determinants:
│ 0 1 │ │ 0 1 1 │ │ 0 1 1 1 │ │ 0 1 1 1 1 │
│ 1 0 │ , │ 1 0 a │ , │ 1 0 a a │ , │ 1 0 a a a │ , etc.
│ 1 a 0 │ │ 1 a 0 a │ │ 1 a 0 a a │
│ 1 a a 0 │ │ 1 a a 0 a │
│ 1 a a a 0 │
Make a conjecture concerning the numerical value of determinants of this kind.
Try to prove your conjecture.
