Question 7 - 2024 (30 Jan Shift 1)

If $f(x)=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}2 \cos ^{4} x & 2 \sin ^{4} x & 3+\sin ^{2} 2 x \ 3+2 \cos ^{4} x & 2 \sin ^{4} x & \sin ^{2} 2 x \ 2 \cos ^{4} x & 3+2 \sin ^{4} x & \sin ^{2} 2 x\end{array}\right|$ then

$\frac{1}{5} f^{\prime}(0)$ is equal to

(1) 0

(2) 1

(3) 2

(4) 6

Show Answer

Answer (1)

Solution

$\left|\begin{array}{ccc}2 \cos ^{4} x & 2 \sin ^{4} x & 3+\sin ^{2} 2 x \ 3+2 \cos ^{4} x & 2 \sin ^{4} x & \sin ^{2} 2 x \ 2 \cos ^{4} x & 3+2 \sin ^{2} 4 x & \sin ^{2} 2 x\end{array}\right|$

$\mathrm{R}{2} \rightarrow \mathrm{R}{2}-\mathrm{R}{1}, \mathrm{R}{3} \rightarrow \mathrm{R}{3}-\mathrm{R}{1}$

$\left|\begin{array}{ccc}2 \cos ^{4} x & 2 \sin ^{4} x & 3+\sin ^{2} 2 x \ 3 & 0 & -3 \ 0 & 3 & -3\end{array}\right|$

$f(x)=45$

$f^{\prime}(x)=0$
