Solve each of the following systems of homogeneous linear equations:

3x + y + z = 0


x – 4y3z = 0


2x + 5y – 2z = 0

Given Equations:


3x + y + z = 0


x – 4y + 3z = 0


2x + 5y – 2z = 0


Any system of equation can be written in matrix form as AX = B


Now finding the Determinant of these set of equations,




= 3(– 4×(– 2) – 3×5) – 1(1×(– 2) – 3×2) + 1(1×5 – 2×(– 4))


= 3(8 – 15) – 1(– 2 – 6) + 1(5 + 8)


= 3×(– 7) –1 × (– 8) + 1×13


= – 21 + 8 + 13


= 0


Since D = 0, so the system of equation has infinite solution.


Now let z = k


3x + y = – k


And x – 4y = – 3k


Now using the cramer’s rule






similarly,
