Question
Without expanding, show that the values of the following determinant are zero:
$\begin{vmatrix}\sin\alpha&\cos\alpha&\cos(\alpha+\delta)\\\sin\beta&\cos\beta&\cos(\beta+\delta)\\\sin\gamma&\cos\gamma&\cos(\gamma+\delta)\end{vmatrix}$

Answer

$\begin{vmatrix}\sin\alpha&\cos\alpha&\cos(\alpha+\delta)\\\sin\beta&\cos\beta&\cos(\beta+\delta)\\\sin\gamma&\cos\gamma&\cos(\gamma+\delta)\end{vmatrix}$
$=\begin{vmatrix}\sin\alpha\sin\delta&\cos\alpha\cos\delta&\cos(\alpha+\delta)\\\sin\beta\sin\delta&\cos\beta\cos\delta&\cos(\beta+\delta)\\\sin\gamma\sin\delta&\cos\gamma\cos\delta&\cos(\gamma+\delta)\end{vmatrix}$$[\text{Applying} \text{ C}_1\rightarrow\sin\delta\text{ C}_1\text{ and}\text{ C}_2\rightarrow\cos\delta\text{ C}_2]$
$=\begin{vmatrix}\sin\alpha\sin\delta&\cos(\alpha+\delta)&\cos(\alpha+\delta)\\\sin\beta\sin\delta&\cos(\beta+\delta)&\cos(\beta+\delta)\\\sin\gamma\sin\delta&\cos(\gamma+\delta)&\cos(\gamma+\delta)\end{vmatrix}$ [Applying C2 → C2 - C1]
$=0$
