Let p be an odd prime. For any \(b,c\in {\mathbb {Z}}\) , Z.-W. Sun introduced the new-type determinant \(\begin{aligned}D_p(b,c)=|(i^2+bij+cj^2)^{p-2}|_{1\leqslant i,j\leqslant p-1},\end{aligned}\) and studied its arithmetic properties. In this paper we mainly prove that \(\begin{aligned}\left( \frac{D_p(b,1)}{p}\right) =\left( \frac{2b}{p}\right) \end{aligned}\) when \(\left( \frac{b^2-4}{p}\right) =-1\) and \(p\equiv 1\pmod 4\) . As an application of our result, we confirm several conjectures of Sun.
