    Consider the determinant Δ=∣a11a12a13a21a22a23a31a32a33∣\Delta = \begin{vmatrix} a_{11} & a_{12} & a_{13} \\ a_{21} & a_{22} & a_{23} \\ a_{31} & a_{32} & a_{33} \end{vmatrix}. If a13=yza_{13} = yz, a23=zxa_{23} = zx, a33=xya_{33} = xy and the minors of a13,a23,a33a_{13}, a_{23}, a_{33} are respectively (z−y)(z-y), (z−x)(z-x), (y−x)(y-x), then what is the value of Δ\Delta?
