MCQ
Evaluate $\begin{bmatrix}8\text{x}+1&2\text{x}-2\\\text{x}^2-1&3\text{x}+5\end{bmatrix}$ is:
  • A
    $-2x^3- 26x^2+ 45x + 3$
  • $-2x^3+ 26x^2+ 45x + 3$
  • C
    $-2x^3+ 26x^2+ 45x - 3$
  • D
    $-2x^3- 26x^2- 45x + 3$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$-2x^3+ 26x^2+ 45x + 3$
Expanding along the first row, we get
$\triangle=8\text{x}+1(3\text{x}+5)-(2\text{x}-2)(\text{x}^2-1)$
$=(24\text{x}^2+43\text{x}+5)-(2\text{x}^3-2\text{x}^2-2\text{x}+2)$
$=-2\text{x}^3+26\text{x}^2+45\text{x}+3.$
