Correct answer: 38
-
For a system of linear equations in variables to have infinitely many solutions, we need
- the coefficient matrix to be singular: ,
- and the equations to be consistent, i.e. the augmented matrix must have the same rank as the coefficient matrix, both .
-
Write the coefficient matrix:
Since infinitely many solutions are given, first set
-
Compute the determinant:
Hence,
-
For infinitely many solutions, the third equation must be a linear combination of the first two (since rank must be ).
So let where \begin{align*} a(2,7,\lambda\mid 3)+b(3,2,5\mid 4)=(1,\mu,32\mid -1). \end{align*}
Equating coefficients gives: \begin{align*} 2a+3b&=1 \qquad (2)\ 3a+4b&=-1 \qquad (from constants) \end{align*}
Solve these two equations:
From and
multiply first by and second by : \begin{align*} 6a+9b&=3\ 6a+8b&=-2 \end{align*} Subtracting, Then from ,
-
Now use the -coefficient and -coefficient:
-
Therefore,
-
Verification in determinant condition: so the condition is satisfied.
Hence the required integer is
