Question
Solve the following determinant equations:
$\begin{vmatrix}3\text{x}-8&3&3\\3&3\text{x}-8&8\\3&3&3\text{x}-8\end{vmatrix}=0$

Answer

$\begin{vmatrix}3\text{x}-8&3&3\\3&3\text{x}-8&8\\3&3&3\text{x}-8\end{vmatrix}=0$
Apply $C_1 \rightarrow C_1+ C_2 + C_3$​​​​​​​
$\Rightarrow\begin{vmatrix}3\text{x}-2&3&3\\3\text{x}-2&3\text{x}-8&8\\3\text{x}-2&3&3\text{x}-8\end{vmatrix}=0$
$\Rightarrow(3\text{x}-2)\begin{vmatrix}1&3&3\\1&3\text{x}-8&8\\1&3&3\text{x}-8\end{vmatrix}=0$
$\Rightarrow(3\text{x}-2)\begin{vmatrix}1&3&3\\0&3\text{x}-11&0\\0&0&3\text{x}-11\end{vmatrix}=0$
$\Rightarrow(3\text{x}-2)(3\text{x}-11)^2=0$
$\Rightarrow(3\text{x}-2)=0$ or $(3\text{x}-11)^2=0$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{2}{3}$ or $\text{x}=\pm\frac{11}{3}$

The sum of three numbers is $2$. If twice the second number is added to the sum of first and third, the sum is $1$. By adding second and third number to five times the first number, we get $6$. Find the three numbers by using matrices.
There are two types of fertilizers $F_1$ and $F_2 . F_1$ consists of $10 \%$ nitrogen and $6 \%$ phosphoric acid and $F_2$ consists of $5 \%$ nitrogen and $10 \%$ phosphoric acid. After testing the soil conditions, a farmer finds the she needs atleast $14 \ kg$ of nitrogen and $14 \ kg$ of phosphoric acid for her crop. If $F _1$ costs Rs $6 / kg$ and $F _2$ costs $Rs 5 / kg$, determine how much of each type of fertilizer should be used so that the nutrient requirements are met at minimum cost. What is the minimum cost?
