Let where is any constant, then what is at equal to ?
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
Given the function as a determinant where only the first row contains the variable :
To differentiate the determinant with respect to , we differentiate the elements of the first row while keeping the other rows unchanged.
Differentiating once with respect to :
Differentiating again with respect to :
Substituting into the second derivative:
Since the first and second rows of the determinant are identical, the value of the determinant is zero.
