In aqueous solution, the hydronium ion gets further hydrated to give which of the following species?

Let $f: \mathbf{R} \rightarrow(0, \infty)$ be a continuous decreasing function. Suppose $f(0), \dot{f}(1), \ldots, f(10)$ are in a geometric progression with common ratio $\frac{1}{5}$. In which of the following intervals does the value of $\int_0^{10} f(x) d x$ lie?

Let $M$ be a $3 \times 3$ matrix with real entries such that

$$ \left\{\left[\begin{array}{l} x_1 \\ x_2 \\ x_3 \end{array}\right]: M\left[\begin{array}{l} x_1 \\ x_2 \\ x_3 \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{l} 0 \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{array}\right]\right\}=\left\{\left[\begin{array}{l} x_1 \\ x_2 \\ x_3 \end{array}\right]: x_1+x_2=0=x_2+x_3\right\} $$

What is the value of the determinant of M ?
