Consider the matrices : $A=\left[\begin{array}{ll}2 & -5 \\ 3 & m\end{array}\right], B=\left[\begin{array}{l}20 \\ m\end{array}\right]$ and $X=\left[\begin{array}{l}x \\ y\end{array}\right]$. Let the set of all $m$, for which the system of equations $A X=B$ has a negative solution (i.e., $x < 0$ and $y < 0$ ), be the interval $(a, b)$. Then $8 \int_a^b|A| d m$ is equal to_________

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & A=\left(\begin{array}{cc}2 & -5 \\ 3 & m\end{array}\right), B=\left(\begin{array}{c}20 \\ m\end{array}\right) \\ & X=\left(\begin{array}{l}x \\ y\end{array}\right) \\ & 2 x-5 y=20 \ldots(1)\\ & 3 x+m y=m \ldots(2)\\ & \Rightarrow y=\frac{2 m-60}{2 m+15} \\ & y < 0 \Rightarrow m \in\left(\frac{-15}{2}, 30\right)\end{aligned}$ $\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{x}=\frac{25 \mathrm{~m}}{2 \mathrm{~m}+15} \\ & \mathrm{x} < 0 \Rightarrow \mathrm{m} \in\left(\frac{-15}{2}, 0\right) \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{m} \in\left(\frac{-15}{2}, 0\right) \\ & |\mathrm{A}|=2 \mathrm{~m}+15 \end{aligned}$
Now, $\begin{aligned} & 8 \int_{\frac{-15}{2}}^0(2 \mathrm{~m}+15) \mathrm{dm}=8\left\{\mathrm{~m}^2+15 \mathrm{~m}\right\}_{\frac{-15}{2}}^0 \\ & \Rightarrow 8\left\{-\left(\frac{225}{4}-\frac{225}{2}\right)\right\} \\ & =8 \times \frac{225}{4}=450 \end{aligned}$
