The determinant | array ccc 1 & (x-3) & (x-3)^ 2 1 & (x-4) & (x-4)^...

The determinant \left|1(x−3)(x−3)21(x−4)(x−4)21(x−5)(x−5)2\begin{array}{ccc}1 & (x-3) & (x-3)^{2} \\ 1 & (x-4) & (x-4)^{2} \\ 1 & (x-5) & (x-5)^{2}\end{array}$$\right|

Options

  1. A3 values of xx
  2. B2 values of xx
  3. C1 values of xx
  4. DNo value of xx

Correct answer

D. No value of xx

Step-by-step solution

The given determinant vanishes, i.e., \left|1x−3(x−3)21x−4(x−4)21x−5(x−5)2\begin{array}{ccc}1 & x-3 & (x-3)^{2} \\ 1 & x-4 & (x-4)^{2} \\ 1 & x-5 & (x-5)^{2} \end{array}\right|=0 Expanding along $\mathrm{C}_{1}$,$ we get\begin{array}{l} (x-4)(x-5)^{2}-(x-5)(x-4)^{2}-\left\{(x-3)(x-5)^{2}\right. \\ \left.-(x-5)(x-3)^{2}\right\}+(x-3)(x-4)^{2} \\ -(x-4)(x-3)^{2}=0 \\ \Rightarrow(x-4)(x-5)(x-5-x+4) \\ -(x-3)(x-5)(x-5-x+3) \\ +(x-3)(x-4)(x-4-x+3)=0 \end{array}$⇒−(x−4)(x−5)+2(x−3)(x−5)−(x−3)\Rightarrow-(x-4)(x-5)+2(x-3)(x-5)-(x-3)(x-4)=0⇒−x2+9x−20+2x2−16x+30−x2+7x−12=0\Rightarrow-x^{2}+9 x-20+2 x^{2}-16 x+30-x^{2}+7 x-12=0\Rightarrow-32+30=0 \Rightarrow-2=0Which is not possible, hence no value of xsatisfiesthegivencondition.\mathrm{x} satisfies the given condition.
