if f(x)=   | a     -1    0 |
               | ax    a    -1|
               |  ax2  ax     a|
using properties of determinants find the value of f(2x) -f(x)

Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query:

We have,fx=a-10axa-1ax2axafx=a1-10xa-1x2axaApplying C1C1+C2fx=a0-10x+aa-1x2+axaxafx=a0-10x+aa-1xx+aaxafx=ax+a0-101a-1xaxaNow, expanding along R1, we getfx=ax+a1a+xfx=ax+a2Also, f2x=a2x+a2So, f2x-fx=a2x+a2-ax+a2                           =a2x+a2-x+a2                           =a2x+a+x+a2x+a-x+a                           =a3x+2ax                           =ax3x+2a f2x-fx=ax3x+2a
