If x2+xx+1x22x2+3x13x3x3x2+2x+32x12x1=xA+B then

Moderate
Solution

Let Δ=x2+xx+1x22x2+3x13x3x3x2+2x+32x12x1

Applying R2R22R1 and R3R3R1, we get

Δ=x2+xx+1x2x1x2x+1x+3x2x+1=x2x+1x20x2x+10x2x+1+xx+1x2x1x2x+1x+3x2x+1=0+xx+1x2x1x2x+1x+3x2x+1

Applying R2R2R1 and R3R3R2, we get 

Δ=xx+1x2133400   =xxx133400+012133400=111133400x+012133400
