MCQ
Let$\begin{vmatrix}\text{x}&2&\text{x}\\\text{x}^2&\text{x}&6\\\text{x}&\text{x}&6\end{vmatrix}=\text{ax}^4+\text{bx}^3+\text{cx}^2+\text{dx}+\text{e}.$ Then, the value of $5a + 4b + 3c + 2d + e$ is equal to:
  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $-16$
  • C
    $16$
  • None of these.

Answer

Correct option: D.
None of these.
$\triangle=\begin{vmatrix}\text{x}&2&\text{x}\\\text{x}^2&\text{x}&6\\\text{x}&\text{x}&6\end{vmatrix}$
$=\text{x}\begin{vmatrix}\text{x}&6\\\text{x}&6\end{vmatrix}-\text{x}^2\begin{vmatrix}2&\text{x}\\\text{x}&6\end{vmatrix}+\text{x}\begin{vmatrix}2&\text{x}\\\text{x}&6\end{vmatrix}$
$= 0 - x^2(12 - x^2) + x(12 - x^2)$
$= x^4 - 12x^2 + 12x - x^3$
$= ax^4 + bx^3 + cx^2 + dx + e$
$\Rightarrow x^4 - 12x^2 + 12x - x^3 $
$= ax^4 + bx^3 + cx^2 + dx + e$
$\Rightarrow a = 1, b = -1, c = -12, d = 12, e = 0$
Thus,
$5a + 4b + 3c + 2d + e $
$= 5 - 4 - 36 + 24 + 0 = -11$
