The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the product of all values of \(|\lambda|\) such that the lines \(x + 2y - 3 = 0\), \(3x - y - 1 = 0\), and \(\lambda x + y - 2 = 0\) cannot form a triangle. This occurs when the third line is either parallel to one of the first two lines or passes through their intersection point. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the slopes of the given lines:** - For the line \(x + 2y - 3 = 0\): \[ 2y = -x + 3 \implies y = -\frac{1}{2}x + \frac{3}{2} \] The slope is \(-\frac{1}{2}\). - For the line \(3x - y - 1 = 0\): \[ y = 3x - 1 \] The slope is \(3\). - For the line \(\lambda x + y - 2 = 0\): \[ y = -\lambda x + 2 \] The slope is \(-\lambda\). 2. **Set conditions for parallel lines:** - The third line is parallel to the first line if: \[ -\lambda = -\frac{1}{2} \implies \lambda = \frac{1}{2} \] - The third line is parallel to the second line if: \[ -\lambda = 3 \implies \lambda = -3 \] 3. **Find the intersection point of the first two lines:** - Solve the equations: \[ x + 2y - 3 = 0 \quad (1) \] \[ 3x - y - 1 = 0 \quad (2) \] - From (1), express \(x\) in terms of \(y\): \[ x = 3 - 2y \] - Substitute into (2): \[ 3(3 - 2y) - y - 1 = 0 \implies 9 - 6y - y - 1 = 0 \implies 8 - 7y = 0 \implies y = \frac{8}{7} \] - Substitute \(y\) back to find \(x\): \[ x = 3 - 2\left(\frac{8}{7}\right) = 3 - \frac{16}{7} = \frac{21 - 16}{7} = \frac{5}{7} \] - The intersection point is \(\left(\frac{5}{7}, \frac{8}{7}\right)\). 4. **Condition for the third line to pass through the intersection point:** - Substitute the intersection point into the third line: \[ \lambda\left(\frac{5}{7}\right) + \left(\frac{8}{7}\right) - 2 = 0 \] Simplifying gives: \[ \frac{5\lambda}{7} + \frac{8}{7} - 2 = 0 \implies \frac{5\lambda + 8 - 14}{7} = 0 \implies 5\lambda - 6 = 0 \implies \lambda = \frac{6}{5} \] 5. **Values of \(\lambda\) that cannot form a triangle:** - From the previous steps, we have: - \(\lambda = \frac{1}{2}\) - \(\lambda = -3\) - \(\lambda = \frac{6}{5}\) 6. **Calculate the product of all values of \(|\lambda|\):** - The absolute values are: - \(|\frac{1}{2}| = \frac{1}{2}\) - \(|-3| = 3\) - \(|\frac{6}{5}| = \frac{6}{5}\) - The product is: \[ \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times \frac{6}{5} = \frac{18}{10} = \frac{9}{5} = 1.8 \] ### Final Answer: The product of all the values of \(|\lambda|\) such that the lines cannot form a triangle is \(1.8\).
