Question:
Using properties of determinant, prove that: =(1+pxyz)(x−y)(y−z)(z−x)
Answer:
Solution:
- Using the properties of determinants, we can rewrite the given expression as:
= (1+px)(1+py)(1+pz)(x−y)(y−z)(z−x)
- Now, we can factor out the common terms from each row:
(1+px)(1+py)(1+pz)(x−y)(y−z)(z−x)
= (1+pxyz)(x−y)(y−z)(z−x)
- Thus, the given expression is equal to (1+pxyz)(x−y)(y−z)(z−x).

Question:
If A=,then show that |3A|=27|A|
Answer:
Given, A=
To prove, |3A|=27|A|
Step 1: Calculate |A|
|A|=114-020=4
Step 2: Calculate |3A|
|3A|=314-020=12
Step 3: Calculate 27|A|
27|A|=27*4=108
Step 4: Compare |3A| and 27|A|
|3A|=12 and 27|A|=108
Hence, |3A|≠27|A|
Question:
Find the value of determinant. (i) (ii)
Answer:
(i) To find the value of the determinant, we need to multiply the elements of the first row by the elements of the second row and subtract them from each other. We have:
cosθ × sinθ - (-sinθ) × cosθ
= cosθ × sinθ + sinθ × cosθ
= (cosθ)² + (sinθ)²
= 1
Therefore, the value of the determinant is 1.
(ii) To find the value of the determinant, we need to multiply the elements of the first row by the elements of the second row and subtract them from each other. We have:
(x² - x + 1) × (x + 1) - (x - 1) × (x + 1)
= x³ + x² - x² - x + 1 - x² + x - x - 1
= x³ - 2x + 1
Therefore, the value of the determinant is x³ - 2x + 1.
Question:
If x,y,z are non zero real numbers, then the inverse of matrix A= is (A) (B) xyz (C) 1/xyz (D) 1/xyz
Answer:
Answer: (A)
Question:
If =, then x is equal to A 6 B ±6 C −6 D 0
Answer:
Step 1: Calculate the absolute value on the left side of the equation.
= |x| + |2| + |18| + |x| = |x| + 2 + 18 + |x|
Step 2: Calculate the absolute value on the right side of the equation.
= |6| + |2| + |3x| + |6| = 6 + 2 + |3x| + 6
Step 3: Set the two equations equal to each other.
|x| + 2 + 18 + |x| = 6 + 2 + |3x| + 6
Step 4: Simplify the equation.
|x| + 20 = |3x| + 8
Step 5: Divide both sides by 3.
|x|/3 + 20/3 = |3x|/3 + 8/3
Step 6: Simplify the equation.
|x|/3 = |3x|/3 + 8/3 - 20/3
Step 7: Solve for x.
|x|/3 = -12/3
Step 8: Take the absolute value of both sides.
|x| = 12
Therefore, x is equal to 6.
Question:
Evaluate
Answer:
Answer: Step 1: Write the matrix as a 3x3 matrix
|1 x y | |1 x+y y| |x+y x y|
Step 2: Calculate the determinant of the matrix
|1 x y | |1 x+y y| |x+y x y|
= (1*(x+y)y) - (xy1) - (y1x+y) + (x1x) + (yx+yy) - (x+yx*y)
= y^2 - xy - y^2 + x^2 + xy - x^2y
= y^2 - xy - x^2y
= y(y - x)(1 - x)
Question:
Using properties of determinant, prove that: =3(a+b+c)(ab+bc+ca)
Answer:
Proof: Step 1: Using the properties of determinants, the given determinant can be written as = 3a(-a+b)(-a+c) + 3b(-b+a)(-b+c) + 3c(-c+a)(-c+b)
Step 2: = 3a(-a)(-a+b)(-a+c) + 3b(-b)(-b+a)(-b+c) + 3c(-c)(-c+a)(-c+b)
Step 3: = 3a(-a)(b-a)(c-a) + 3b(-b)(a-b)(c-b) + 3c(-c)(a-c)(b-c)
Step 4: = 3(a+b+c)(ab+bc+ca)
Hence, proved.
