The value of 1(2x+2−x)2(2x−2−x)21(3x+3−x)2(3x−3−x)21(5x+5−x)2(5x−5−x)2
A
0
B
30x
C
30−x
D
None of these
Answer
0
Explanation
Solution
Applying R2→R2−R3
1 & 1 & 1 \\ 2.2^{x}.2.2^{- x} & 2.3^{x}.2.3^{- x} & 2.5^{x}.2.5^{- x} \\ (2^{x} - 2^{- x})^{2} & (3^{x} - 3^{- x})^{2} & (5^{x} - 5^{- x})^{2} \end{matrix} \right| = 4\left| \begin{matrix} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 \\ (2^{x} - 2^{- x})^{2} & (3^{x} - 3^{- x})^{2} & (5^{x} - 5^{- x})^{2} \end{matrix} \right| = 0\lbrack\because R_{1}\text{ and}R_{2}\text{are identical}\rbrack$$ **Trick :** Putting $x = 0$, we get option (1) is correct
