Without expanding, show that the values of the following determinant are zero:
$\begin{vmatrix}\sin^2\text{A}&\cot\text{A}&1\\\sin^2\text{B}&\cot\text{B}&1\\\sin^2\text{C}&\cot\text{C}&1\end{vmatrix}$

Answer

$\begin{vmatrix}\sin^2\text{A}&\cot\text{A}&1\\\sin^2\text{B}&\cot\text{B}&1\\\sin^2\text{C}&\cot\text{C}&1\end{vmatrix}$
$=\begin{vmatrix}\sin^2\text{A}-\sin^2\text{B}&\cot\text{A}-\cot\text{B}&0\\\sin^2\text{B}&\cot\text{B}&1\\\sin^2\text{C}-\sin^2\text{B}&\cot\text{C}-\cot\text{B}&0\end{vmatrix}$ [Applying $R_1 → R_1 - R_2$ and $R_3 → R_3 - R_2$]
$=\begin{vmatrix}\sin(\text{A}+\text{B})\sin(\text{A}-\text{B})&\frac{\cos\text{A}\sin\text{B}-\cos\text{B}\sin\text{A}}{\sin\text{A}\sin\text{B}}&0\\\sin^2\text{B}&\cot\text{B}&1\\\sin(\text{C}+\text{B})\sin(\text{C}-\text{B})&\frac{\cos\text{C}\sin\text{B}-\cos\text{B}\sin\text{C}}{\sin\text{B}\sin\text{C}}&0\end{vmatrix}$
$=\begin{vmatrix}\sin(\pi-\text{C})\sin(\text{A}-\text{B})&\frac{-\sin(\text{A}-\text{B})}{\sin\text{A}\sin\text{B}}&0\\\sin^2\text{B}&\cot\text{B}&1\\\sin(\pi-\text{A})\sin(\text{C}-\text{B})&\frac{-\sin(\text{C}-\text{B})}{\sin\text{B}\sin\text{C}}&0\end{vmatrix}$ $[\because\text{A}+\text{B}+\text{C}=\pi]$
$=\begin{vmatrix}\sin\text{C}\sin(\text{A}-\text{B})&\frac{-\sin(\text{A}-\text{B})}{\sin\text{A}\sin\text{B}}&0\\\sin^2\text{B}&\frac{\cos\text{B}}{\sin\text{B}}&1\\\sin\text{A}\sin(\text{C}-\text{B})&\frac{-\sin(\text{C}-\text{B})}{\sin\text{A}\sin\text{B}}&0\end{vmatrix}$
$=\frac{\sin(\text{A}-\text{B})\sin(\text{C}-\text{B})}{\sin\text{B}}\begin{vmatrix}\sin\text{C}&\frac{-1}{\sin\text{A}}&0\\\sin^2\text{B}&\cos\text{B}&1\\\sin\text{A}&\frac{-1}{\sin\text{C}}&0\end{vmatrix}$
$=\frac{\sin(\text{A}-\text{B})\sin(\text{C}-\text{B})}{\sin\text{B}\sin\text{A}\sin\text{C}}\begin{vmatrix}\sin\text{C}\sin\text{A}&-1&0\\\sin^2\text{B}&\cos\text{B}&1\\\sin\text{A}\sin\text{C}&-1&0\end{vmatrix}$ [Applying $R_1 → sinA R_1$ and $R_3 → sinC R_3$]
$=\frac{\sin(\text{A}-\text{B})\sin(\text{C}-\text{B})}{\sin\text{B}\sin\text{A}\sin\text{C}}\begin{vmatrix}0&0&0\\\sin^2\text{B}&\cos\text{B}&1\\\sin\text{A}\sin\text{C}&-1&0\end{vmatrix}$ [Applying $R_1 → R_1 - R_3$]
$=0$
