The correct Answer is:
To solve the given system of equations: 1. **Write down the equations**: \[ \begin{align*} (1) & \quad x + 2y - 3z = a \\ (2) & \quad 2x + 6y - 11z = b \\ (3) & \quad x - 2y + 7z = c \end{align*} \] 2. **Form the coefficient matrix**: The coefficient matrix \( A \) for the system is: \[ A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & -3 \\ 2 & 6 & -11 \\ 1 & -2 & 7 \end{bmatrix} \] 3. **Calculate the determinant of the coefficient matrix**: We denote the determinant as \( \Delta \): \[ \Delta = \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 2 & -3 \\ 2 & 6 & -11 \\ 1 & -2 & 7 \end{vmatrix} \] We can calculate this determinant using the method of cofactor expansion. Expanding along the first row: \[ \Delta = 1 \cdot \begin{vmatrix} 6 & -11 \\ -2 & 7 \end{vmatrix} - 2 \cdot \begin{vmatrix} 2 & -11 \\ 1 & 7 \end{vmatrix} - 3 \cdot \begin{vmatrix} 2 & 6 \\ 1 & -2 \end{vmatrix} \] Now calculating each of the 2x2 determinants: \[ \begin{vmatrix} 6 & -11 \\ -2 & 7 \end{vmatrix} = (6 \cdot 7) - (-11 \cdot -2) = 42 - 22 = 20 \] \[ \begin{vmatrix} 2 & -11 \\ 1 & 7 \end{vmatrix} = (2 \cdot 7) - (-11 \cdot 1) = 14 + 11 = 25 \] \[ \begin{vmatrix} 2 & 6 \\ 1 & -2 \end{vmatrix} = (2 \cdot -2) - (6 \cdot 1) = -4 - 6 = -10 \] Substituting back into the determinant: \[ \Delta = 1 \cdot 20 - 2 \cdot 25 - 3 \cdot (-10) = 20 - 50 + 30 = 0 \] 4. **Determine the conditions for solutions**: Since \( \Delta = 0 \), we need to check the conditions for infinite solutions. For infinite solutions, we need: \[ \Delta = 0, \quad \Delta_x = 0, \quad \Delta_y = 0, \quad \Delta_z = 0 \] 5. **Calculate \( \Delta_x \)**: Replace the first column of the coefficient matrix with the constants \( a, b, c \): \[ \Delta_x = \begin{vmatrix} a & 2 & -3 \\ b & 6 & -11 \\ c & -2 & 7 \end{vmatrix} \] Expanding this determinant similarly, we find: \[ \Delta_x = 20a - 25b + 30c \] 6. **Set \( \Delta_x = 0 \)**: For infinite solutions, we need: \[ 20a - 25b + 30c = 0 \] 7. **Calculate \( \Delta_y \)**: Replace the second column of the coefficient matrix with the constants \( a, b, c \): \[ \Delta_y = \begin{vmatrix} 1 & a & -3 \\ 2 & b & -11 \\ 1 & c & 7 \end{vmatrix} \] Similarly, we find: \[ \Delta_y = 20b - 25a + 30c = 0 \] 8. **Calculate \( \Delta_z \)**: Replace the third column of the coefficient matrix with the constants \( a, b, c \): \[ \Delta_z = \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 2 & a \\ 2 & 6 & b \\ 1 & -2 & c \end{vmatrix} \] Similarly, we find: \[ \Delta_z = 20c - 25a + 30b = 0 \] 9. **Final condition for infinite solutions**: The condition for infinite solutions can be summarized as: \[ 5a = 2b + c \] Thus, the system of equations has infinite solutions when \( 5a = 2b + c \).
