Question
For what value of x, the following matrix is singular?
Solution
If a matrix A is singular, then \[\left| A \right| = 0\]
\[\therefore \begin{vmatrix}5 - x & x + 1 \\ 2 & 4\end{vmatrix} = 0\]
\[\Rightarrow 4(5 - x) - 2(x + 1) 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow 20 - 4x - 2x - 2\]
\[ \Rightarrow 18 - 6x = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow 18 = 6x\]
\[ \Rightarrow x = 3\]
