For what values of `k ,`thefollowing system of equations possesses a nontrival solution over the set ofrationals:`c+k y+3z=0,3c+k y-2z=02c+3y-4x=0.`Also find the solution for this value of `kdot` |

Answer» The system x+ky+ 3z=0 3x+ky-2z=0 2x+3y-4z=0 as nontrivial solution (i.e., nonzero solution ) if the determinant if coefficients of x,y and z is zero , Here, `Delta=|{:(1,,k,,3),(3,,k,,-2),(2,,3,,-4):}|=0` `" or " 2k-33=0 " ok " k= 33//2` then the equations become `2x+33y+6z=0` `6x+33y-4z=0` `2x+3y-4z=0` Eliminating x we get from (2) and (4) 30y+ 10z=0 i.e., 3y+z=0 `" Let "y=lambda in R . " then " z=- 3lambda " and so "` `2x=-33lambda + 18lambda =- 15lambda` `:. x=-(15)/(2)lambda , y=lambda z=-3lambda , lambda in R` |
