If x, y, z are in arithmetic progression with common difference d, x≠3d, and the determinant of the matrix [[3, 4√2, x], [4, 5√2, y], [5, k, z]] is zero, then the value of k² is:
If x, y, z are in arithmetic progression with common difference d, x≠3d, and the determinant of the matrix [[3, 4√2, x], [4, 5√2, y], [5, k, z]] is zero, then the value of k² is:
Given that x, y, z are in A.P., so 2y = x + z.
The determinant is:
| 3 4√2 x |
| 4 5√2 y | = 0
| 5 k z |
Apply the operation R? → R? + R? - 2R?:
The first row becomes:
(3 + 5 - 24) (4√2 + k - 25√2) (x + z - 2y)
= 0 (k - 6√2) (0)
So the determinant becomes:
| 0 k-6√2 0 |
| 4 5√2 y | = 0
| 5 k z |
