1.2.11 Determinant calculation
Problem:
Calculate the determinant \( \Delta_{n} \) of size \( n \times n \).
\[
\Delta_{n}=\left|\begin{array}{ccccc}
x+1 & x & x & \cdots & x \\
x & x+2 & x & \cdots & x \\
x & x & x+3 & \cdots & x \\
\cdots & \cdots & \cdots & \cdots & \cdots \\
x & x & x & \cdots & x+n
\end{array}\right| .
\]
