Question

Using properties of determinants, prove that x+yxx5x+4y4x2x10x+8y8x3x=x3

Open in App
Solution

To prove, ∣ ∣x+yxx5x+4y4x2x10x+8y8x3x∣ ∣=x3
LHS=∣ ∣xxx5x4x2x10x8x3x∣ ∣+∣ ∣yxx4y4x2x8y8x3x∣ ∣
=x3∣ ∣1115421083∣ ∣+yx2∣ ∣111442883∣ ∣
Applying C1C1C2,C2C2C3 in the first determinant
=x3∣ ∣001122253∣ ∣+yx2×0
As the first two columns of the 2nd determinant are same.
Expanding the first determinant through R1
=x3.1.1225=x3(54)
=x3 = RHS
Hence proved.
