The correct Answer is:
To determine the values of \(\lambda\) for which the given system of linear equations has a non-trivial solution, we can express the equations in matrix form and find the determinant of the coefficient matrix. If the determinant is zero, the system has a non-trivial solution. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Write the system of equations in matrix form**: The given equations are: \[ x + \lambda y - z = 0 \quad (1) \] \[ \lambda x - y - z = 0 \quad (2) \] \[ x + y - \lambda z = 0 \quad (3) \] The corresponding coefficient matrix \(A\) is: \[ A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & \lambda & -1 \\ \lambda & -1 & -1 \\ 1 & 1 & -\lambda \end{bmatrix} \] 2. **Calculate the determinant of the matrix**: We need to find \(\text{det}(A)\) and set it to zero for a non-trivial solution: \[ \text{det}(A) = \begin{vmatrix} 1 & \lambda & -1 \\ \lambda & -1 & -1 \\ 1 & 1 & -\lambda \end{vmatrix} \] Expanding the determinant along the first row: \[ \text{det}(A) = 1 \cdot \begin{vmatrix} -1 & -1 \\ 1 & -\lambda \end{vmatrix} - \lambda \cdot \begin{vmatrix} \lambda & -1 \\ 1 & -\lambda \end{vmatrix} - 1 \cdot \begin{vmatrix} \lambda & -1 \\ 1 & 1 \end{vmatrix} \] Calculate each of these 2x2 determinants: - For the first determinant: \[ \begin{vmatrix} -1 & -1 \\ 1 & -\lambda \end{vmatrix} = (-1)(-\lambda) - (-1)(1) = \lambda + 1 \] - For the second determinant: \[ \begin{vmatrix} \lambda & -1 \\ 1 & -\lambda \end{vmatrix} = \lambda(-\lambda) - (-1)(1) = -\lambda^2 + 1 = 1 - \lambda^2 \] - For the third determinant: \[ \begin{vmatrix} \lambda & -1 \\ 1 & 1 \end{vmatrix} = \lambda(1) - (-1)(1) = \lambda + 1 \] Substituting back into the determinant: \[ \text{det}(A) = 1(\lambda + 1) - \lambda(1 - \lambda^2) - 1(\lambda + 1) \] Simplifying: \[ = \lambda + 1 - \lambda + \lambda^3 - \lambda - 1 = \lambda^3 - \lambda \] 3. **Set the determinant to zero**: \[ \lambda^3 - \lambda = 0 \] Factor out \(\lambda\): \[ \lambda(\lambda^2 - 1) = 0 \] Further factor: \[ \lambda(\lambda - 1)(\lambda + 1) = 0 \] 4. **Find the values of \(\lambda\)**: The solutions are: \[ \lambda = 0, \quad \lambda = 1, \quad \lambda = -1 \] Thus, there are **three values of \(\lambda\)** for which the system has a non-trivial solution. ### Conclusion: The correct option is (4) exactly three values of \(\lambda\).

To determine the values of \(\lambda\) for which the given system of linear equations has a non-trivial solution, we can express the equations in matrix form and find the determinant of the coefficient matrix. If the determinant is zero, the system has a non-trivial solution. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Write the system of equations in matrix form**: The given equations are: \[ x + \lambda y - z = 0 \quad (1) ...
