Question
Without expanding, show that the values of the following determinant are zero:
$\begin{vmatrix}1^2&2^2&3^2&4^2\\2^2&3^2&4^2&5^2\\3^2&4^2&5^2&6^2\\4^2&5^2&6^2&7^2\end{vmatrix}$
✓

Answer

$\begin{vmatrix}1^2&2^2&3^2&4^2\\2^2&3^2&4^2&5^2\\3^2&4^2&5^2&6^2\\4^2&5^2&6^2&7^2\end{vmatrix}$
Applying:$ C_3 \rightarrow C_3 - C_2, C_4 \rightarrow C_4 - C_1$​​​​​​​
$=\begin{vmatrix}1^1&2^2&3^2-2^2&4^2-1^2\\2^2&3^2&4^2-3^2&5^2-2^2\\3^3&4^2&5^2-4^2&6^2-3^2\\4^2&5^2&6^2-5^2&7^2-4^2 \end{vmatrix}$
$=\begin{vmatrix}1^1&2^2&5&15\\2^2&3^2&7&21\\3^3&4^2&9&27\\4^2&5^2&11&33 \end{vmatrix}$
Take 3 common from $C_4$​​​​​​​
$=0$
$\because\text{C}_3=\text{C}_4$
