Question

If \[g\left( x \right) = \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{a^{ - x}}}&{{e^{x{{\log }_e}a}}}&{{x^2}}\\ {{a^{ - 3x}}}&{{e^{3x{{\log }_e}a}}}&{{x^4}}\\ {{a^{ - 5x}}}&{{e^{5x{{\log }_e}a}}}&1 \end{array}} \right|,\]      then

A. $$g\left( x \right) + g\left( { - x} \right) = 0$$  
B. $$g\left( x \right) - g\left( { - x} \right) = 0$$
C. $$g\left( x \right) \times g\left( { - x} \right) = 0$$
D. None of these
Answer :   $$g\left( x \right) + g\left( { - x} \right) = 0$$
Solution :
\[\begin{array}{l} g\left( x \right) = \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{a^{ - x}}}&{{e^{x{{\log }_e}a}}}&{{x^2}}\\ {{a^{ - 3x}}}&{{e^{3x{{\log }_e}a}}}&{{x^4}}\\ {{a^{ - 5x}}}&{{e^{5x{{\log }_e}a}}}&1 \end{array}} \right|\\ = \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{a^{ - x}}}&{{e^x}}&{{x^2}}\\ {{a^{ - 3x}}}&{{e^{3x}}}&{{x^4}}\\ {{a^{ - 5x}}}&{{e^{5x}}}&1 \end{array}} \right|\left( {{e^{\log {a^x}}} = {a^x}} \right)\\ \Rightarrow g\left( { - x} \right) = \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{a^x}}&{{a^{ - x}}}&{{x^2}}\\ {{a^{3x}}}&{{a^{ - 3x}}}&{{x^4}}\\ {{a^{5x}}}&{{a^{ - 5x}}}&1 \end{array}} \right|\\ = - \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{a^{ - x}}}&{{a^x}}&{{x^4}}\\ {{a^{ - 3x}}}&{{a^{3x}}}&{{x^4}}\\ {{a^{ - 5x}}}&{{a^{5x}}}&1 \end{array}} \right|\left( \begin{array}{l} {\rm{Interchanging }}\,\,I\\ {\rm{and }}\,\,II\,\,{\rm{ columns}} \end{array} \right) \end{array}\]
$$\eqalign{ & = - g\left( x \right) \cr & \Rightarrow g\left( x \right) + g\left( { - x} \right) = 0 \cr} $$
