If , write the value of x.

We are given that,


We need to find the value of x.


Determinant of 3 × 3 matrices is found as,




So,








Using trigonometric identity,


sin2 θ + cos2 θ = 1




Since,



-x3 = 8


x3 = -8


x3 = -2 × -2 × -2


Taking cube root on both sides,



x = -2


Thus, the value of x is -2.
