The correct Answer is:
To find the values of \( \lambda \) and \( \mu \) for which the system of equations has an infinite number of solutions, we need to analyze the given equations: 1. \( x + y + z = 6 \) (Equation 1) 2. \( x + 2y + 3z = 10 \) (Equation 2) 3. \( x + 2y + \lambda z = \mu \) (Equation 3) For the system to have an infinite number of solutions, the determinant of the coefficients must be zero, and the constants must also satisfy certain conditions. ### Step 1: Form the Coefficient Matrix and Constant Matrix The coefficient matrix \( A \) and the constant matrix \( B \) can be represented as follows: \[ A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 1 & 2 & \lambda \end{bmatrix}, \quad B = \begin{bmatrix} 6 \\ 10 \\ \mu \end{bmatrix} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Determinant of the Coefficient Matrix To find the values of \( \lambda \) such that the determinant of \( A \) is zero, we compute: \[ \text{det}(A) = \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 1 & 2 & \lambda \end{vmatrix} \] Using the determinant formula for a 3x3 matrix: \[ \text{det}(A) = 1 \cdot \begin{vmatrix} 2 & 3 \\ 2 & \lambda \end{vmatrix} - 1 \cdot \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 3 \\ 1 & \lambda \end{vmatrix} + 1 \cdot \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 1 & 2 \end{vmatrix} \] Calculating the 2x2 determinants: 1. \( \begin{vmatrix} 2 & 3 \\ 2 & \lambda \end{vmatrix} = 2\lambda - 6 \) 2. \( \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 3 \\ 1 & \lambda \end{vmatrix} = \lambda - 3 \) 3. \( \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 1 & 2 \end{vmatrix} = 0 \) Thus, we have: \[ \text{det}(A) = 1(2\lambda - 6) - 1(\lambda - 3) + 0 = 2\lambda - 6 - \lambda + 3 = \lambda - 3 \] ### Step 3: Set the Determinant to Zero For the system to have infinite solutions, we set the determinant to zero: \[ \lambda - 3 = 0 \implies \lambda = 3 \] ### Step 4: Substitute \( \lambda \) Back into the Third Equation Now, substituting \( \lambda = 3 \) into the third equation: \[ x + 2y + 3z = \mu \] ### Step 5: Check for Consistency with the Other Equations To ensure the system is consistent, we can check if the third equation is a linear combination of the first two equations. From the first two equations, we can express \( z \) in terms of \( x \) and \( y \): 1. From Equation 1: \( z = 6 - x - y \) 2. Substitute \( z \) into Equation 2: \[ x + 2y + 3(6 - x - y) = 10 \] This simplifies to: \[ x + 2y + 18 - 3x - 3y = 10 \implies -2x - y + 18 = 10 \implies -2x - y = -8 \implies 2x + y = 8 \] ### Step 6: Find \( \mu \) Now, substituting \( z \) back into the third equation: \[ \mu = x + 2y + 3(6 - x - y) = x + 2y + 18 - 3x - 3y = -2x - y + 18 \] Using \( 2x + y = 8 \): \[ \mu = 18 - 8 = 10 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the values of \( \lambda \) and \( \mu \) for which the system of equations has an infinite number of solutions are: \[ \lambda = 3, \quad \mu = 10 \]
