Find the area of the triangle whose vertices are $(3,8), (-4,2)$ and $(5,1)$.

If $1$,$\log_{10}(4^{x}-2)$ and $\log_{10}(4^{x}+\frac{18}{5})$ are in arithmetic progression for a real number $x$,then the value of the determinant $\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 2(x-\frac{1}{2}) & x-1 & x^{2} \\ 1 & 0 & x \\ x & 1 & 0 \end{array}\right|$ is equal to ...... .

If the determinant $\left|\begin{array}{ccc}\cos 2x & \sin^2 x & \cos 2x \\ \sin^2 x & \cos 2x & \cos^2 x \\ \cos 2x & \cos^2 x & \cos 2x\end{array}\right|$ is expanded in powers of $\cos x$,then the constant term in the expansion is

If one of the roots of $\left|\begin{array}{lll}3 & 5 & x \\ 7 & x & 7 \\ x & 5 & 3\end{array}\right|=0$ is $-10$,then the other roots are

If $a, b, c$ are distinct and rational numbers,then the value of the determinant $\left| \begin{array}{ccc} (a^2 + b^2 + c^2) & (ab + bc + ca) & (ab + bc + ca) \\ (ab + bc + ca) & (a^2 + b^2 + c^2) & (ab + bc + ca) \\ (ab + bc + ca) & (ab + bc + ca) & (a^2 + b^2 + c^2) \end{array} \right|$ is always:

Evaluate the determinant: $\left|\begin{array}{ll}\cos \theta & -\sin \theta \\ \sin \theta & \cos \theta\end{array}\right|$
