If a b c , then one value of x which satisfies the equation | array ccc 0 & x-a & x-b x+a & 0 & x-c x+b & x+c & 0 array |=0 is given by
Options
- Aa
- Bb
- Cc
- D0
Correct answer
D. 0
Step-by-step solution
| array ccc 0 & x-a & x-b x+a & 0 & x-c x+b & x+c & 0 array |=0 We know, the value of symmetric matrix's determinant is 0 | array ccc 0 & - a & - b a & 0 & - c ~b & c & 0 array |=0 In the given matrix, determinant is 0 , if x=0
