If A= [ array ccc 0 & x & 16 x & 5 & 7 0 & 9 & x array ] is singular, then the possible values of x are
Options
- A0,12,-12
- B0,1,-1
- C0,4,-4
- D0,5,-5
Correct answer
A. 0,12,-12
Step-by-step solution
We have, A= [ array ccc 0 & x & 16 x & 5 & 7 0 & 9 & x array ] Since, A is singular. aligned & &|A| &=0 & & & & x [x²-0 ]+16[9 x-0] &=0 &-x³+144 x &=0 & x (x²-144 ) &=0 & x &=0 & & x &= 12 aligned
