Question
Without expanding, show that the values of the following determinant are zero:
$\begin{vmatrix}\cos(\text{x}+\text{y})&-\sin(\text{x}+\text{y})&\cos2\text{y}\\\sin\text{x}&\cos\text{x}&\sin\text{y}\\-\cos\text{x}&\sin\text{x}&-\cos\text{y} \end{vmatrix}$

Answer

$\begin{vmatrix}\cos(\text{x}+\text{y})&-\sin(\text{x}+\text{y})&\cos2\text{y}\\\sin\text{x}&\cos\text{x}&\sin\text{y}\\-\cos\text{x}&\sin\text{x}&-\cos\text{y} \end{vmatrix}$
$=\frac{1}{\sin\text{y}\cos\text{y}}\begin{vmatrix}\cos(\text{x}+\text{y})&-\sin(\text{x}+\text{y})&\cos2\text{y})\\\sin\text{x}\sin\text{y}&\cos\text{x}\sin\text{y}&\sin^2\text{y}\\-\cos\text{x}\cos\text{y}&\sin\text{x}\cos\text{y}&-\cos^2\text{y} \end{vmatrix}$
[Applying R2 → siny R2 and R3 → cosy R3]
$=\frac{1}{\sin\text{y}\cos\text{y}}\begin{vmatrix}\cos(\text{x}+\text{y})&-\sin(\text{x}+\text{y})&\cos2\text{y}\\\sin\text{x}\sin\text{y}-\cos\text{x}\cos\text{y}&\cos\text{x}\sin\text{y}+\sin\text{x}\sin\text{y}&\sin^2\text{y}-\cos^2\text{y}\\-\cos\text{x}\cos\text{y}&\sin\text{x}\cos\text{y}&-\cos^2\text{y} \end{vmatrix}$
[Applying R2 → R2 + R3]
$=\frac{1}{\sin\text{y}\cos\text{y}}\begin{vmatrix}\cos(\text{x}+\text{y})&-\sin(\text{x}+\text{y})&\cos2\text{y}\\\cos(\text{x}+\text{y})&-\sin(\text{x}+\text{y})&\cos2\text{y}\\-\cos\text{x}\cos\text{y}&\sin\text{x}\cos\text{y}&-\cos^2\text{y} \end{vmatrix}$
$=0$
