The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problem step by step, we will break it down into two parts as per the question. ### Part (i): Finding the value of 'a' We need to find the value of 'a' such that the lines: 1. \(3x - 2y + 8 = 0\) 2. \(2x + y + 3 = 0\) 3. \(ax + 3y + 11 = 0\) are concurrent. **Step 1: Write the equations in standard form.** The equations are already in the standard form \(a_1x + b_1y + c_1 = 0\), \(a_2x + b_2y + c_2 = 0\), and \(a_3x + b_3y + c_3 = 0\). - For the first line: \(a_1 = 3\), \(b_1 = -2\), \(c_1 = 8\) - For the second line: \(a_2 = 2\), \(b_2 = 1\), \(c_2 = 3\) - For the third line: \(a_3 = a\), \(b_3 = 3\), \(c_3 = 11\) **Step 2: Set up the determinant for concurrency.** The lines are concurrent if the determinant of the coefficients is zero: \[ \begin{vmatrix} 3 & -2 & 8 \\ 2 & 1 & 3 \\ a & 3 & 11 \end{vmatrix} = 0 \] **Step 3: Calculate the determinant.** Calculating the determinant: \[ = 3 \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 3 \\ 3 & 11 \end{vmatrix} - (-2) \begin{vmatrix} 2 & 3 \\ a & 11 \end{vmatrix} + 8 \begin{vmatrix} 2 & 1 \\ a & 3 \end{vmatrix} \] Calculating the 2x2 determinants: 1. \(\begin{vmatrix} 1 & 3 \\ 3 & 11 \end{vmatrix} = (1)(11) - (3)(3) = 11 - 9 = 2\) 2. \(\begin{vmatrix} 2 & 3 \\ a & 11 \end{vmatrix} = (2)(11) - (3)(a) = 22 - 3a\) 3. \(\begin{vmatrix} 2 & 1 \\ a & 3 \end{vmatrix} = (2)(3) - (1)(a) = 6 - a\) Substituting back into the determinant: \[ = 3(2) + 2(22 - 3a) + 8(6 - a) \] \[ = 6 + 44 - 6a + 48 - 8a \] \[ = 98 - 14a \] **Step 4: Set the determinant to zero.** Setting the determinant equal to zero for concurrency: \[ 98 - 14a = 0 \] **Step 5: Solve for 'a'.** \[ 14a = 98 \implies a = \frac{98}{14} = 7 \] Thus, the value of \(a\) is **7**.
