Question

Question: The value of the determinant \(\left| \begin{matrix} 4 & - 6 & 1 \\ - 1 & - 1 & 1 \\ - 4 & 11 & - ...

The value of the determinant $\left| \begin{matrix} 4 & - 6 & 1 \

  • 1 & - 1 & 1 \
  • 4 & 11 & - 1 \end{matrix} \right|$is.
A

– 75

B

25

C

0

D

– 25

Answer

– 25

Explanation

Solution

$\left| \begin{matrix} 4 & - 6 & 1 \

  • 1 & - 1 & 1 \
  • 4 & 11 & - 1 \end{matrix} \right| = \left| \begin{matrix} 0 & 5 & 0 \
  • 1 & - 1 & 1 \
  • 4 & 11 & - 1 \end{matrix} \right|{\text{Apply }R_{1} \rightarrow R_{1} + R_{3}}$

= 5(1+4)=25- 5(1 + 4) = - 25.
