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,
