Question: Show that the determinate /x sin0 cos0/ is independent of 0. /-sin0 -x 1/ /cos0 1 x/

 

The correct answer is –

To show that the determinant is independent of 0, we need to show that its value remains constant as 0 varies.

Expanding the determinant along the first row, we get:

|x sin 0 cos 0| = x |-sin 0 1| – sin 0 |cos 0 1| |cos 0 x| |-sin 0 x|

= -xsin0(-sin0) – cos0(x)(cos0) + sin0(cos0)(x) = x(sin^2 0 + cos^2 0) = x

Therefore, we can see that the value of the determinant is x, which is independent of 0.

Now, let’s check whether the given matrix satisfies the determinant equation:

|x sin 0 cos 0| |-sin 0 -x 1| |cos 0 1 x|

Expanding the determinant along the first row, we get:

x |-sin 0 1| – sin 0 |cos 0 1| |1 x| |0 cos 0|

= -xsin0(cos0) – sin0(1)(x) + (cos0)(1)(0) = -xsin0

Therefore, we can see that the determinant of the given matrix is -xsin0, which is not equal to x. Hence, the given matrix does not satisfy the determinant equation.
