Mark the correct alternative in the following:
The system of equation x + y + z = 2, 3x – y + 2z = 6 and 3x + y + z = –18 has
The given system of equations is
x + y + z = 2
3x – y + 2z = 6
3x + y + z = -18
The matrix equation corresponding to this system is :-
Let A =
|A| =
= 1(-1-2) -1(3-6) + 1(3+3)
= -3+3+6 = 6
i.e., |A| 0
A unique solution of the system exists.
