Find the real values of λ for which the followings system of linear equations has non – trivial solutions. Also, find the non – trivial solutions

2λx – 2y + 3z = 0


X + λy + 2z = 0


2x + λz = 0

Given Equations:


2λx – 2y + 3z = 0


x + λy + 2z = 0


2x + λz = 0


For trivial solution D = 0




= 2λ (λ×λ – 0×2) + 2(1×λ – 2×2) + 3(1×0 – 2×λ)


= 2λ (λ2 – 0) + 2(λ – 4) + 3(0 – 2λ)


= 2λ3 + 2λ – 8 – 6λ


= 2λ3 + 4λ – 8


Now D = 0


2λ3 – 4λ – 8 = 0


2λ3 – 4λ = 8


λ(λ2 – 2) = 4


Hence λ = 2


Now let z = k


4x – 2y = – 3k


And x + 2y = – 2k


Now using the cramer’s rule






x = – k


similarly,








4
