The value of \(x\) for which the matrix \(A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -2 & 3 \\ 1 & 2 & 1 \\ x & 2 & -3 \end{bmatrix}\) is singular is:
- A -1
- B 1
- C \(0\)
- D 2
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) -1
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(det(A) = 0\) \(1( (2)(-3) - (1)(2) ) - (-2)( (1)(-3) - (1)(x) ) + 3( (1)(2) - (2)(x) ) = 0\) \(-8 + 2(-3 - x) + 3(2 - 2x) = 0\) \(-8 - 6 - 2x + 6 - 6x = 0\) \(-8 - 8x = 0\) \(-8x = 8\) \(x = -1\)
