(D) square matrix $A$ has no inverse if and only if its determinant is zero, i.e.,$|A| = 0$. Given the matrix $A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 & x \ 1 & x & 1 \ x & -1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$. We calculate the determinant: $|A| = 1(x - (-1)) - (-1)(1 - x) + x(-1 - x^2) = 0$ $|A| = 1(x + 1) + 1(1 - x) + x(-1 - x^2) = 0$ $|A| = x + 1 + 1 - x - x - x^3 = 0$ $|A| = -x^3 - x + 2 = 0$ $x^3 + x - 2 = 0$ By inspection, if $x = 1$, then $1^3 + 1 - 2 = 0$, which satisfies the equation. Alternatively, if $x = 1$, the matrix becomes $\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 & 1 \ 1 & 1 & 1 \ 1 & -1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$. Since the first and third rows (or columns) are identical, the determinant is $0$. Thus, the real value of $x$ is $1$.

If $\left[\begin{array}{rrr}1 & -1 & x \\ 1 & x & 1 \\ x & -1 & 1\end{array}\right]$ has no inverse, then the real value of $x$ is
