The determinant $\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}a&b&{a - b}\\b&c&{b - c}\\2&1&0\end{array}\,} \right|$ is equal to zero if $a,b,c$ are in

If the system of equation $3x - 2y + z = 0$, $\lambda x - 14y + 15z = 0$, $x + 2y + 3z = 0$ have a non-trivial solution, then $\lambda = $

$\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&5&\pi \\{{{\log }_e}e}&5&{\sqrt 5 }\\{{{\log }_{10}}10}&5&e\end{array}\,} \right| = $

For positive numbers $x,y$ and $z$  the numerical value of the determinant $\left| {\,\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&{{{\log }_x}y}&{{{\log }_x}z}\\{{{\log }_y}x}&1&{{{\log }_y}z}\\{{{\log }_z}x}&{{{\log }_z}y}&1\end{array}\,} \right|$is

Prove that the determinant $\left|\begin{array}{ccc}x & \sin \theta & \cos \theta \\ -\sin \theta & -x & 1 \\ \cos \theta & 1 & x\end{array}\right|$ is independent of $\theta$
