If \(\left|\begin{array}{ll}x & 8 \\ 4 & x\end{array}\right|=\left|\begin{array}{cc}6 & 2 \\ 18 & 6\end{array}\right|\), then \(x\) is/are equal to:

  1. A \(\pm 4 \sqrt{ 2 }\)
  2. B \(2 \sqrt{2}\)
  3. C \(4 \sqrt{3}\)
  4. D \(\pm 4 \sqrt{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\pm 4 \sqrt{ 2 }\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( x \cdot x - 8 \cdot 4 = 6 \cdot 6 - 2 \cdot 18 \) \( x^2 - 32 = 36 - 36 \) \( x^2 - 32 = 0 \) \( x^2 = 32 \) \( x = \pm \sqrt{32} = \pm 4 \sqrt{2} \)
