MCQ
Evaluate the following determinant : $\left|\begin{array}{cc}x & -7 \\ x & 5 x+1\end{array}\right|$
  • A
    $3 x^2+4$
  • $x(5 x+8)$
  • C
    $3 x+4 x^2$
  • D
    $x(3 x+4)$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$x(5 x+8)$
(b) : We have, $\left|\begin{array}{cc}x & -7 \\ x & 5 x+1\end{array}\right|=x(5 x+1)+7(x)$
$
=5 x^2+x+7 x=5 x^2+8 x=x(5 x+8)
