The correct Answer is:
To find the value of the determinant \[ \Delta = \begin{vmatrix} \sin 2\alpha & \sin(\alpha + \beta) & \sin(\alpha + \gamma) \\ \sin(\beta + \gamma) & \sin 2\beta & \sin(\gamma + \beta) \\ \sin(\gamma + \alpha) & \sin(\gamma + \beta) & \sin 2\gamma \end{vmatrix} \] we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Use the sine addition formula Recall the sine addition formula: \[ \sin(a + b) = \sin a \cos b + \cos a \sin b \] Using this formula, we can express the sine terms in the determinant. ### Step 2: Rewrite the determinant We can rewrite the terms in the determinant using the sine addition formula: - \(\sin(\alpha + \beta) = \sin \alpha \cos \beta + \cos \alpha \sin \beta\) - \(\sin(\alpha + \gamma) = \sin \alpha \cos \gamma + \cos \alpha \sin \gamma\) - \(\sin(\beta + \gamma) = \sin \beta \cos \gamma + \cos \beta \sin \gamma\) - \(\sin(\gamma + \alpha) = \sin \gamma \cos \alpha + \cos \gamma \sin \alpha\) This leads to a more complex expression for the determinant, but we will focus on the structure of the matrix. ### Step 3: Identify zero columns or rows Upon rewriting, we notice that the determinant has a structure where certain rows or columns may become zero. Specifically, if we look closely, we can see that if we manipulate the rows or columns, we might end up with a column or row that consists entirely of zeros. ### Step 4: Check for linear dependence If any row or column in a determinant is a linear combination of others or consists entirely of zeros, the determinant will be zero. ### Step 5: Conclude the value of the determinant Since we can find that at least one column of the determinant becomes zero, we conclude that: \[ \Delta = 0 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of the determinant \(\Delta\) is: \[ \Delta = 0 \]
