If [x 1 1](123456789)(11x)=[45][x \ 1 \ 1] \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 4 & 5 & 6 \\ 7 & 8 & 9 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \\ x \end{pmatrix} = [45], then which one of the following is a value of xx?

Options

  1. A−2-2
  2. B−1-1
  3. C00
  4. D11

Correct answer

D. 11

Step-by-step solution

Given equation is [x 1 1](123456789)(11x)=[45][x \ 1 \ 1] \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 4 & 5 & 6 \\ 7 & 8 & 9 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \\ x \end{pmatrix} = [45]

Multiplying the first two matrices:

[x(1)+1(4)+1(7)x(2)+1(5)+1(8)x(3)+1(6)+1(9)](11x)=[45][x(1) + 1(4) + 1(7) \quad x(2) + 1(5) + 1(8) \quad x(3) + 1(6) + 1(9)] \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \\ x \end{pmatrix} = [45]

[x+112x+133x+15](11x)=[45][x + 11 \quad 2x + 13 \quad 3x + 15] \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \\ x \end{pmatrix} = [45]

Multiplying the resulting row matrix with the column matrix:

(x+11)(1)+(2x+13)(1)+(3x+15)(x)=45(x + 11)(1) + (2x + 13)(1) + (3x + 15)(x) = 45

x+11+2x+13+3x2+15x=45x + 11 + 2x + 13 + 3x^2 + 15x = 45

3x2+18x+24=453x^2 + 18x + 24 = 45

3x2+18x−21=03x^2 + 18x - 21 = 0

x2+6x−7=0x^2 + 6x - 7 = 0

(x+7)(x−1)=0(x + 7)(x - 1) = 0

x=−7x = -7 or x=1x = 1

From the given options, x=1x = 1 is a valid value.
