Short tricks for speed

Evaluation of determinants focus drill
Solve 15 mixed MCQs for Evaluation of determinants, review every explanation, and note formulas you hesitated on.
Calculus substitution scan
Spot standard forms (sin²x, 1/(a²+x²), e^ax) before integrating — JEE rewards pattern recognition.
Graph sketch shortcut

Q1MathsUnit 3: Matrices and Determinants

STATEMENT 1: In a

\Delta A B C, a, b, c

denotes lengths of the sides and

\left|\begin{array}{lll}\boldsymbol{a} & \boldsymbol{b} & \boldsymbol{c} \\ \boldsymbol{b} & \boldsymbol{c} & \boldsymbol{a} \\ \boldsymbol{c} & \boldsymbol{a} & \boldsymbol{b}\end{array}\right|=\mathbf{0}

then the triangle is equilateral triangle. STATEMENT 2: Sum of three non- negative numbers

=0 \Rightarrow

each number is zero.

Q2MathsUnit 3: Matrices and Determinants

\operatorname{tet} f(\theta)=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}\cos \frac{\theta}{2} & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & \cos \frac{\theta}{2} & -\cos \frac{\theta}{2} \\ -\cos \frac{\theta}{2} & 1 & -1\end{array}\right|

f(\pi)+f(-\pi)

is equal to

Q3MathsUnit 3: Matrices and Determinants

\operatorname{Let} A=\left|\begin{array}{lll}\boldsymbol{a} & \boldsymbol{b} & \boldsymbol{c} \\ \boldsymbol{p} & \boldsymbol{q} & \boldsymbol{r} \\ \boldsymbol{x} & \boldsymbol{y} & \boldsymbol{z}\end{array}\right|

and suppose that det.

(A)=2

then the det.(B) equals, where

\boldsymbol{B}=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}\mathbf{4} \boldsymbol{x} & \mathbf{2} \boldsymbol{a} & -\boldsymbol{p} \\ \mathbf{4} \boldsymbol{y} & \mathbf{2} \boldsymbol{b} & -\boldsymbol{q} \\ \boldsymbol{4} \boldsymbol{z} & \boldsymbol{2} \boldsymbol{c} & -\boldsymbol{t}\end{array}\right|

Q4MathsUnit 3: Matrices and Determinants

f\left|\begin{array}{ccc}\boldsymbol{x}+\mathbf{1} & \mathbf{3} & \mathbf{5} \\ \mathbf{2} & \boldsymbol{x}+\mathbf{2} & \mathbf{5} \\ \mathbf{2} & \mathbf{3} & \boldsymbol{x}+\mathbf{4}\end{array}\right|=\mathbf{0},

then

\boldsymbol{x}=?

Q5MathsUnit 3: Matrices and Determinants
