The correct Answer is:
To determine the values of \(\lambda\) for which the given system of linear equations has a non-trivial solution, we need to analyze the determinant of the coefficient matrix. The system of equations is: 1. \((\lambda + 3)x + (\lambda + 2)y + z = 0\) 2. \(3x + (\lambda + 3)y + z = 0\) 3. \(2x + 3y + z = 0\) ### Step 1: Form the Coefficient Matrix The coefficient matrix \(A\) can be written as follows: \[ A = \begin{bmatrix} \lambda + 3 & \lambda + 2 & 1 \\ 3 & \lambda + 3 & 1 \\ 2 & 3 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Determinant of Matrix \(A\) To find the values of \(\lambda\) for which the system has a non-trivial solution, we need to set the determinant of \(A\) to zero: \[ \text{det}(A) = 0 \] We can calculate the determinant using the first row: \[ \text{det}(A) = (\lambda + 3) \begin{vmatrix} \lambda + 3 & 1 \\ 3 & 1 \end{vmatrix} - (\lambda + 2) \begin{vmatrix} 3 & 1 \\ 2 & 1 \end{vmatrix} + 1 \begin{vmatrix} 3 & \lambda + 3 \\ 2 & 3 \end{vmatrix} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the 2x2 Determinants Calculating the 2x2 determinants: 1. \(\begin{vmatrix} \lambda + 3 & 1 \\ 3 & 1 \end{vmatrix} = (\lambda + 3)(1) - (3)(1) = \lambda + 3 - 3 = \lambda\) 2. \(\begin{vmatrix} 3 & 1 \\ 2 & 1 \end{vmatrix} = (3)(1) - (2)(1) = 3 - 2 = 1\) 3. \(\begin{vmatrix} 3 & \lambda + 3 \\ 2 & 3 \end{vmatrix} = (3)(3) - (2)(\lambda + 3) = 9 - 2\lambda - 6 = 3 - 2\lambda\) ### Step 4: Substitute Back into the Determinant Expression Substituting these values back into the determinant expression: \[ \text{det}(A) = (\lambda + 3)(\lambda) - (\lambda + 2)(1) + 1(3 - 2\lambda) \] \[ = \lambda^2 + 3\lambda - \lambda - 2 + 3 - 2\lambda \] \[ = \lambda^2 + (3\lambda - \lambda - 2\lambda) + (3 - 2) \] \[ = \lambda^2 + 0\lambda + 1 = \lambda^2 + 1 \] ### Step 5: Set the Determinant to Zero Now, we set the determinant equal to zero: \[ \lambda^2 + 1 = 0 \] ### Step 6: Solve for \(\lambda\) This gives us: \[ \lambda^2 = -1 \] \[ \lambda = \pm i \] ### Conclusion The system of equations has a non-trivial solution when \(\lambda\) takes on imaginary values \(\lambda = i\) or \(\lambda = -i\). Therefore, there are no real values of \(\lambda\) for which the system has a non-trivial solution.
