The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given system of linear equations and find the conditions under which it has a non-zero solution. The equations are: 1. \( ax + by + cz = 0 \) 2. \( cx + ay + bz = 0 \) 3. \( bx + cy + az = 0 \) ### Step 1: Formulate the Coefficient Matrix We can represent the system in matrix form as follows: \[ \begin{bmatrix} a & b & c \\ c & a & b \\ b & c & a \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix} \] ### Step 2: Find the Determinant For the system to have a non-zero solution, the determinant of the coefficient matrix must be zero: \[ D = \begin{vmatrix} a & b & c \\ c & a & b \\ b & c & a \end{vmatrix} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Determinant We can calculate the determinant \( D \) using the formula for a 3x3 matrix: \[ D = a \begin{vmatrix} a & b \\ c & a \end{vmatrix} - b \begin{vmatrix} c & b \\ b & a \end{vmatrix} + c \begin{vmatrix} c & a \\ b & c \end{vmatrix} \] Calculating the 2x2 determinants: 1. \( \begin{vmatrix} a & b \\ c & a \end{vmatrix} = a^2 - bc \) 2. \( \begin{vmatrix} c & b \\ b & a \end{vmatrix} = ac - b^2 \) 3. \( \begin{vmatrix} c & a \\ b & c \end{vmatrix} = c^2 - ab \) Substituting these back into the determinant \( D \): \[ D = a(a^2 - bc) - b(ac - b^2) + c(c^2 - ab) \] ### Step 4: Simplify the Determinant Expanding this gives: \[ D = a^3 - abc - (abc - b^3) + c^3 - abc \] Combining like terms: \[ D = a^3 + b^3 + c^3 - 3abc \] ### Step 5: Set the Determinant to Zero For the system to have a non-zero solution, we set the determinant to zero: \[ a^3 + b^3 + c^3 - 3abc = 0 \] ### Step 6: Use the Identity Using the identity for the sum of cubes, we know that: \[ a^3 + b^3 + c^3 - 3abc = (a + b + c)(a^2 + b^2 + c^2 - ab - ac - bc) \] For this product to be zero, either \( a + b + c = 0 \) or \( a^2 + b^2 + c^2 - ab - ac - bc = 0 \). Since \( a, b, c \) are distinct and non-zero, the condition that must hold is: \[ a + b + c = 0 \] ### Conclusion Thus, if the system of linear equations has a non-zero solution, we conclude that: \[ \boxed{a + b + c = 0} \]
