If \(\begin{vmatrix}x&2\\18&x\end{vmatrix}=\begin{vmatrix}6&2\\18&6\end{vmatrix}\),then x is equal to
If \(\begin{vmatrix}x&2\\18&x\end{vmatrix}=\begin{vmatrix}6&2\\18&6\end{vmatrix}\),then x is equal to
6
±6
-6
0
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
\(\begin{vmatrix}x&2\\18&x\end{vmatrix}=\begin{vmatrix}6&2\\18&6\end{vmatrix}\)
\(\Rightarrow\) x2-36=36-36
\(\Rightarrow\) x2-36=0
\(\Rightarrow \) x2=36
\(\Rightarrow\) x=±6
Hence, the correct answer is B.
Top Questions on Determinants
- If \(A\) is an identity matrix of order \(n\), then \(A (\text{Adj } A)\) is a/an:
If \(\begin{vmatrix} 2x & 3 \\ x & -8 \\ \end{vmatrix} = 0\), then the value of \(x\) is:
Let \( a \in \mathbb{R} \) and \( A \) be a matrix of order \( 3 \times 3 \) such that \( \det(A) = -4 \) and \[ A + I = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & a & 1 \\ 2 & 1 & 0 \\ a & 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix} \] where \( I \) is the identity matrix of order \( 3 \times 3 \).
If \( \det\left( (a + 1) \cdot \text{adj}\left( (a - 1) A \right) \right) \) is \( 2^m 3^n \), \( m, n \in \{ 0, 1, 2, \dots, 20 \} \), then \( m + n \) is equal to:
