if thesystemof equations (a-t)x+by +cz=0 bx+(c-t) y+az=0 cx+ay+(b-t)z=0 hasnon-trivial solutions thenproduct of allpossible values of t is

Answer»

`|{:(a,,b,,c),(b,,c,,a),(c,,a,,b):}|`
`a+b+c`
`a^(2)+b^(2)+c^(2)`
`1`

Solution :The givensystemof equationswill havea non-trivialsolutions if THEDETERMINANT of coefficient is 0.
`DELTA= |{:(a-t,,b,,c),(b,,c-t,,a),(c,,a,,b-t):}|=0`
`Delta=0` is acubicequation in t, so ithas 3solutionssay `t_(1), t_(2)" and" t_(3)`
LET `Delta =p_(0)t_(3)+p_(1)t^(2) +p_(2)t+p_(3)`
Clearly ,Po= coeff . of `t^(3)` which isequalto -1 , so
`t_(1) t_(2)t_(3) =-(P_(3))/((-1))=P_(3)`
= constant TERM in the expansion of `Delta i.e, Delta _((t=0))`
hence `t_(1)t_(2)t_(3)= |{:(a,,b,,c),(b,,c,,a),(c,,a,,b):}|`
