If \(f(x) = \begin{vmatrix} 0 & x-a & x-b \\ x+a & 0 & x-c \\ x+b & x+c & 0 \end{vmatrix}\), then \(f(0)\) is:

  1. A \(3abc\)
  2. B \(-abc\)
  3. C \(abc\)
  4. D \(0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f(0) = \begin{vmatrix} 0 & -a & -b \\ a & 0 & -c \\ b & c & 0 \end{vmatrix}\) \(f(0) = 0(0 - (-c)c) - (-a)(a \cdot 0 - (-c)b) + (-b)(ac - 0 \cdot b)\) \(f(0) = 0 + a(bc) - b(ac)\) \(f(0) = abc - abc\) \(f(0) = 0\)
