If [2x4][x−8]=[0][2x \quad 4]\begin{bmatrix} x \\ -8 \end{bmatrix} = [0], then the value of xx is/are

A. −4-4

B. 44

C. 1616

D. −16-16

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Multiplying the matrices gives 2x⋅x+4⋅(−8)=2x2−322x\cdot x + 4\cdot(-8) = 2x^2 - 32.

Setting this to zero gives x2=16x^2 = 16, so x=4x = 4 or x=−4x = -4.

Hence both A and B are correct.
