The correct Answer is:
To solve the given system of equations for a non-trivial solution, we need to find the value of \( n \) such that the determinant of the coefficients matrix is zero. The equations are: 1. \( \binom{n}{3}x + \binom{n}{4}y + 35z = 0 \) 2. \( \binom{n}{4}x + 35y + \binom{n}{3}z = 0 \) 3. \( 35x + \binom{n}{3}y + \binom{n}{4}z = 0 \) ### Step 1: Form the Coefficient Matrix The coefficient matrix \( A \) of the system is: \[ A = \begin{bmatrix} \binom{n}{3} & \binom{n}{4} & 35 \\ \binom{n}{4} & 35 & \binom{n}{3} \\ 35 & \binom{n}{3} & \binom{n}{4} \end{bmatrix} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Determinant To find the value of \( n \) for which the system has a non-trivial solution, we need to compute the determinant of matrix \( A \) and set it to zero. \[ \text{det}(A) = 0 \] ### Step 3: Use the Property of Combinations For a non-trivial solution, we can use the property of combinations. We know that: \[ \binom{n}{3} = \binom{n}{4} \text{ when } n = 3 + 4 = 7 \] ### Step 4: Set Conditions We also need to ensure that both \( \binom{n}{3} \) and \( \binom{n}{4} \) equal 35: \[ \binom{n}{3} = 35 \quad \text{and} \quad \binom{n}{4} = 35 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \( n \) Using the formula for combinations: 1. \( \binom{n}{3} = \frac{n(n-1)(n-2)}{6} = 35 \) - This simplifies to \( n(n-1)(n-2) = 210 \). 2. \( \binom{n}{4} = \frac{n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)}{24} = 35 \) - This simplifies to \( n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3) = 840 \). ### Step 6: Check Values of \( n \) We can check \( n = 7 \): - For \( n = 7 \): - \( \binom{7}{3} = \frac{7 \cdot 6 \cdot 5}{6} = 35 \) - \( \binom{7}{4} = \frac{7 \cdot 6 \cdot 5}{24} = 35 \) Both conditions are satisfied. ### Conclusion Thus, the value of \( n \) for which the system has a non-trivial solution is: \[ \boxed{7} \]
