The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation given by the determinant of the matrix \[ \begin{vmatrix} 0 & x-a & x-b \\ x+a & 0 & x-c \\ x+b & x+c & 0 \end{vmatrix} = 0, \] we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the Determinant We start by writing the determinant of the matrix: \[ D = \begin{vmatrix} 0 & x-a & x-b \\ x+a & 0 & x-c \\ x+b & x+c & 0 \end{vmatrix}. \] ### Step 2: Expand the Determinant To find the determinant, we can expand along the first row. The determinant can be calculated as follows: \[ D = 0 \cdot \begin{vmatrix} 0 & x-c \\ x+c & 0 \end{vmatrix} - (x-a) \cdot \begin{vmatrix} x+a & x-c \\ x+b & 0 \end{vmatrix} + (x-b) \cdot \begin{vmatrix} x+a & 0 \\ x+b & x+c \end{vmatrix}. \] Since the first term is multiplied by 0, we can ignore it. Now we will compute the other two determinants. ### Step 3: Calculate the 2x2 Determinants 1. For the first 2x2 determinant: \[ \begin{vmatrix} x+a & x-c \\ x+b & 0 \end{vmatrix} = (x+a) \cdot 0 - (x-c)(x+b) = -(x-c)(x+b). \] 2. For the second 2x2 determinant: \[ \begin{vmatrix} x+a & 0 \\ x+b & x+c \end{vmatrix} = (x+a)(x+c) - 0 = (x+a)(x+c). \] ### Step 4: Substitute Back into the Determinant Now substituting back, we have: \[ D = -(x-a)(-(x-c)(x+b)) + (x-b)(x+a)(x+c). \] This simplifies to: \[ D = (x-a)(x-c)(x+b) + (x-b)(x+a)(x+c). \] ### Step 5: Set the Determinant to Zero We need to set \(D = 0\): \[ (x-a)(x-c)(x+b) + (x-b)(x+a)(x+c) = 0. \] ### Step 6: Test for Values of x To find values of \(x\), we can test specific values. Let's try \(x = 0\): Substituting \(x = 0\): \[ D = (0-a)(0-c)(0+b) + (0-b)(0+a)(0+c). \] This simplifies to: \[ D = (-a)(-c)(b) + (-b)(a)(c) = abc - abc = 0. \] ### Conclusion Since substituting \(x = 0\) gives us \(D = 0\), we conclude that one value of \(x\) that satisfies the equation is: \[ \boxed{0}. \]
