The values of , for which the system of equations has infinitely many solutions, satisfy the equation :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
- For the system to have infinitely many solutions, the third equation must be a linear combination of the first two, and the coefficient matrix must be singular in a consistent way.
The equations are:
- Let equation (3) be a linear combination of (1) and (2):
Then comparing coefficients of and constants:
- Solve for using the first two equations: Subtract:
Then
- Now find and : From
we get
From
we get
Thus,
- Check the options.
