Practicing Success
If $\begin{vmatrix} x-4 & 2x & 2x\\2x& x-4 & 2x\\2x& 2x& x-4\end{vmatrix}= (A+Bx)(x-A)^2$, then the ordered pair (A, B) is : (where A and B are real numbers ) |
(-4, 5) (4, 5) (-4, -5) (-4, 3) |
(-4, 5) |
The correct answer is Option (1) → (-4, 5) $\begin{vmatrix} x-4 & 2x & 2x\\2x& x-4 & 2x\\2x& 2x& x-4\end{vmatrix}$ $C_1→C_1+C_2+C_3$ $\begin{vmatrix} 5x-4 & 2x & 2x\\5x-4& x-4 & 2x\\5x-4& 2x& x-4\end{vmatrix}$ $⇒(5x-4)\begin{vmatrix} 1 & 2x & 2x\\1& x-4 & 2x\\1& 2x& x-4\end{vmatrix}$ $⇒R_2→R_2-R_1,R_3→R_3-R_1$ $(5x-4)\begin{vmatrix} 0 & 2x & 2x\\0& -x-4 & 0\\0& 0& -x-4\end{vmatrix}$ $⇒(x+4)^2(5x-4)=(A+Bx)(x-A)^2$ $A=-4,B=5$ |
