Show that the following system is inconsistent. (a-b)x+(b-c)y+(c-a)z=0 (b-c)x+(c-a)y+(a-b)z=0 (c-a)x+(a-b)y+(b-c)z=1

Answer»

Solution :`DELTA=[[a-b,b-c,c-a],[b-c,c-a,a-b],[c-a,a-b,b-c]] [R_1rarrR_1+R_2+R_3]`
=`[[0,b-c,c-a],[0,c-a,a-b],[0,a-b,b-c]]`=0
`DELTAX=[[0,b-c,c-a],[0,c-a,a-b],[1,a-b,b-c]]`
=`(a-b)(b-c)-(c-a)^2ne0`
`therefore` the SYSTEM is inconsistent.
