If
\[
\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 3 & 1 \\ k & 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}
\]
has a determinant of \( \pm 6 \), then the value of \( k \) is:
Show Hint
- \( 1 \)
- \( -2 \)
- \( 2 \)
- \( \pm 2 \)
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The determinant is:
\[ \det = 1 \cdot \begin{vmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 \end{vmatrix} - 3 \cdot \begin{vmatrix} k & 1 \\ 1 & 1 \end{vmatrix} + 1 \cdot \begin{vmatrix} k & 0 \\ 1 & 0 \end{vmatrix}. \]Simplify:
\[ \det = 0 - 3(k - 1) + k = -3k + 3 + k = -2k + 3. \]Given \( |\det| = 6 \), solve:
\[ -2k + 3 = \pm 6 \quad \Rightarrow \quad k = \pm 2. \] Final Answer: \( \boxed{\pm 2} \)Top Questions on Matrix
- Three students run on a racing track such that their speeds add up to 6 km/h. However, double the speed of the third runner added to the speed of the first results in 7 km/h. If thrice the speed of the first runner is added to the original speeds of the other two, the result is 12 km/h. Using the matrix method, find the original speed of each runner.
Let $ A = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 2 + p & 2 + p + q \\4 & 6 + 2p & 8 + 3p + 2q \\6 & 12 + 3p & 20 + 6p + 3q \end{bmatrix} $ If $ \text{det}(\text{adj}(\text{adj}(3A))) = 2^m \cdot 3^n, \, m, n \in \mathbb{N}, $ then $ m + n $ is equal to:
- If \( A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ -1 & 5 \end{bmatrix} \), then find the value of \( K \) if \( A^2 = 6A + K I_2 \), where \( I_2 \) is the identity matrix.
