The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of the determinant \[ D = \begin{vmatrix} 1 + a & 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 + b & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 + c & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 + d \end{vmatrix} \] where \(a, b, c, d\) are the roots of the polynomial equation \[ x^4 + 2x^3 + 4x^2 + 8x + 16 = 0. \] ### Step 1: Apply Row Operations We can simplify the determinant using row operations. We perform the following operations: - \(R_1 \leftarrow R_1 - R_4\) - \(R_2 \leftarrow R_2 - R_4\) - \(R_3 \leftarrow R_3 - R_4\) This gives us: \[ D = \begin{vmatrix} a & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & b & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & c & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & d \end{vmatrix} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Determinant The determinant of a diagonal matrix is the product of its diagonal entries. Thus, we have: \[ D = a \cdot b \cdot c \cdot d. \] ### Step 3: Use Vieta's Formulas From the polynomial \(x^4 + 2x^3 + 4x^2 + 8x + 16 = 0\), we can use Vieta's formulas to find the relationships between the roots: - The sum of the roots \(a + b + c + d = -2\). - The sum of the products of the roots taken two at a time \(ab + ac + ad + bc + bd + cd = 4\). - The sum of the products of the roots taken three at a time \(abc + abd + acd + bcd = -8\). - The product of the roots \(abcd = 16\). ### Step 4: Substitute into the Determinant Now we can substitute the value of the product of the roots into our determinant: \[ D = abcd = 16. \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of the determinant is \[ \boxed{16}. \]
