Question

If the points $(x, -2), (5, 2), (8, 8)$ are collinear, find $x$ using determinants.

Answer

The points $(k, -2), (5, 2), (8, 8)$ are collinear.
$\begin{vmatrix}\text{x}&-2&1\\5&2&1\\8&8&1\end{vmatrix}=0$
$\triangle=\begin{vmatrix}\text{x}&-2&1\\5&2&1\\8&8&1\end{vmatrix}$
$=\begin{vmatrix}\text{x}&-2&1\\5-\text{x}&4&0\\8&8&1\end{vmatrix} [$Applying $R_2 \rightarrow R_2 - R_1]$
$=\begin{vmatrix}\text{x}&-2&1\\5-\text{x}&4&0\\8-\text{x}&10&0\end{vmatrix} [$Applying $R_3 \rightarrow R_3 - R_1]$
$=\begin{vmatrix}5-\text{x}&4\\8-\text{x}&10\end{vmatrix}$
$=50-10\text{x}-32+4\text{x}$
$=18-6\text{x}=0$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=3$

A factory manufactures two types of screws A and B, each type requiring the use of two machines, an automatic and a hand-operated. It takes 4 minutes on the automatic and 6 minutes on the hand-operated machines to manufacture a packet of screws ‘A’ while it takes 6 minutes on the automatic and 3 minutes on the hand-operated machine to manufacture a packet of screws ‘B’. Each machine is available for at most 4 hours on any day. The manufacturer can sell a packet of screws ‘A’ at a profit of 70 paise and screws ‘B’ at a profit of Rs. 1. Assuming that he can sell all the screws he manufactures, how many packets of each type should the factory owner produce in a day in order to maximize his profit? Formulate the above LPP and solve it graphically and find the maximum profit.
