Let A be a 3 × 3 real matrix such that A ( array ll 1 1 0 array ) =...
Options
- Ano solution
- Binfinitely many solutions
- Cunique solution
- Dexactly two solutions
Correct answer
B. infinitely many solutions
Step-by-step solution
Let the matrix be A = \left[\begin{cases}{a}_{1} & {b}_{1} & {c}_{1} \\ {a}_{2} & {b}_{2} & {c}_{2} \\ {a}_{3} & {b}_{3} & {c}_{3}\end{cases}\right]
Now A\left[\right] = \left[\right] = \left[\right]
A\left[\right] = \left[\right] = \left[\right]
A\left[\right] = \left[\right] = \left[\right]
So matrix A = \left[\begin{cases}- 2 & 3 & 1 \\ - 1 & 2 & 1 \\ - 1 & 1 & 2\end{cases}\right]
⇒ A - 2I = \left[\begin{cases}- 4 & 3 & 1 \\ - 1 & 0 & 1 \\ - 1 & 1 & 0\end{cases}\right]
i.e. \left|A - 2I\right| = 0X = \left[\right]</p><p>So, \left[\begin{cases}- 4 & 3 & 1 \\ - 1 & 0 & 1 \\ - 1 & 1 & 0\end{cases}\right]\left[\right] = \left[\right]
Solving the above system of equations we get infinite solutions.
