Show that

The image shows a mathematical expression involving a determinant of a 4x4 matrix and its evaluation:

\[ 
\text{p)} \quad \begin{vmatrix} 
a & b & b & b \\ 
a & b & a & a \\ 
b & b & a & b \\ 
a & a & a & b 
\end{vmatrix} = -(a-b)^4 
\]

This expression indicates that the determinant of the given matrix equals the negative of \((a - b)\) raised to the fourth power.
