For what value of k is the matrix $\begin{bmatrix} 2\cos 2\theta & 2\cos 2\theta & 6 \\ 1 -2 \sin^2\theta & 2 \cos^2\theta -1 & 3 \\ k & 2k & 1 \end{bmatrix}$ singular?

If A is the identity matrix of order 3 and B is its transpose, then what is the value of the determinant of the matrix C = A + B?

If $\rm \Delta = \begin{vmatrix} a & b & c\\ d & e & f\\ g & h & i \end{vmatrix}$ then what is $\rm \begin{vmatrix} 3d + 5g & 4a + 7g & 6g\\ 3e + 5h & 4b + 7h & 6h\\ 3f + 5i & 4c + 7i & 6i \end{vmatrix}$ equal to?
