Question

The following system of linear equations 7 x + 6 y - 2 z = 0 3 x + 4 y + 2 z = 0 x - 2 y - 6 z = 0 , has, infinitely many solutions, x , y , z satisfying y = 2 z, no solution, infinitely many solutions, x , y , z satisfying x = 2 z, only the trivial solution

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

7 6 - 2 3 4 2 1 - 2 - 6 = 7 - 20 - 6 - 20 - 2 - 10 = - 140 + 120 + 20 = 0 So infinite non-trivial solution exist Now equation ( 1 ) + 3 equation ( 3 ) ⇒ 10 x - 20 z = 0 ⇒ x = 2 z
