The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to evaluate the determinant given the condition \(a + b + c = 0\) and find one of the solutions for the equation: \[ \begin{vmatrix} a - x & c & b \\ c & b - x & a \\ b & a & c - x \end{vmatrix} = 0 \] ### Step 1: Apply Column Operations We will apply the column operation \(C_1 \rightarrow C_1 + C_2 + C_3\). This means we will replace the first column with the sum of the first, second, and third columns. After applying this operation, the first column becomes: \[ (a - x) + c + b = a + b + c - x \] Since \(a + b + c = 0\), this simplifies to: \[ 0 - x = -x \] Thus, the new first column is: \[ \begin{pmatrix} -x \\ b - x \\ c - x \end{pmatrix} \] ### Step 2: Rewrite the Determinant Now our determinant looks like this: \[ \begin{vmatrix} -x & c & b \\ c & b - x & a \\ b & a & c - x \end{vmatrix} \] ### Step 3: Factor Out \(-1\) We can factor out \(-1\) from the first column: \[ -x \begin{vmatrix} 1 & c & b \\ c & b - x & a \\ b & a & c - x \end{vmatrix} \] ### Step 4: Set the Determinant to Zero For the determinant to equal zero, we need: \[ -x \cdot \text{Determinant} = 0 \] This implies either: 1. \(x = 0\) 2. The determinant itself is zero. ### Step 5: Conclusion Since we are looking for one of the solutions, we can conclude that: \[ x = 0 \] is indeed one of the solutions. ### Summary of Steps: 1. Apply the column operation to simplify the determinant. 2. Rewrite the determinant with the new first column. 3. Factor out \(-1\) and simplify. 4. Set the determinant to zero to find solutions.
