The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find one root of the determinant equation given that \( a + b + c = 0 \). The determinant we are dealing with is: \[ \begin{vmatrix} a - n & c & b \\ c & b - n & a \\ b & a & c - n \end{vmatrix} = 0 \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Substitute \( a + b + c = 0 \)** Since \( a + b + c = 0 \), we can express \( c \) as \( c = -a - b \). **Step 2: Write the determinant** The determinant can be rewritten as: \[ D = \begin{vmatrix} a - n & -a - b & b \\ -a - b & b - n & a \\ b & a & -a - b - n \end{vmatrix} \] **Step 3: Perform row operations** We can simplify the determinant by performing row operations. Let's add the first row to the second and third rows: \[ D = \begin{vmatrix} a - n & -a - b & b \\ 0 & (b - n) + (-a - b) & a + b \\ 0 & a + b & -a - b - n \end{vmatrix} \] This simplifies to: \[ D = \begin{vmatrix} a - n & -a - b & b \\ 0 & -a - n & a + b \\ 0 & a + b & -a - b - n \end{vmatrix} \] **Step 4: Factor out common terms** Now, we can factor out \( (a + b) \) from the second and third rows: \[ D = (a + b) \begin{vmatrix} a - n & -a - b & b \\ 0 & -a - n & 1 \\ 0 & 1 & -1 - \frac{n}{a + b} \end{vmatrix} \] **Step 5: Expand the determinant** Now we can expand the determinant. The determinant simplifies to: \[ D = (a + b) \cdot (a - n) \cdot \left( (-a - n)(-1 - \frac{n}{a + b}) - 1 \right) \] **Step 6: Set the determinant to zero** For the determinant to be zero, we have two cases: 1. \( a + b = 0 \) 2. \( a - n = 0 \) From the first case \( a + b = 0 \), we can substitute \( c = -a - b \) which leads to \( c = 0 \). From the second case \( a - n = 0 \), we have \( n = a \). **Step 7: Solve for \( n \)** Since \( a + b + c = 0 \), we can conclude that \( n = 0 \) is a root. ### Conclusion Thus, one root of the equation \( |(a-n,c,b),(c,b-n,a),(b,a,c-n)| = 0 \) is: \[ \boxed{0} \]
