The system of equations kx+y+z=1,x+ky+z=kkx + y + z = 1, x + ky + z = k and x+y+zk=k2x + y + zk = {k}^{2} has no solution if kk is equal to:

Options

  1. A00
  2. B11
  3. C−1- 1
  4. D−2- 2

Correct answer

D. −2- 2

Step-by-step solution

kx+y+z=1kx + y + z = 1

x+ky+z=kx + ky + z = k

x+y+zk=k2x + y + zk = {k}^{2}

\Delta = \left|\begin{cases}K & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & K & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & K\end{cases}\right| = K\left({K}^{2} - 1\right) - 1\left(K - 1\right) + 1\left(1 - K\right)

=K3−K−K+1+1−K= {K}^{3} - K - K + 1 + 1 - K

=K3−3K+2= {K}^{3} - 3K + 2

=(K−1)2(K+2)= ( K - 1{)}^{2}\left(K + 2\right)

For K=1K = 1

Δ=Δ1=Δ2=Δ3=0\Delta = {\Delta}_{1} = {\Delta}_{2} = {\Delta}_{3} = 0

But for K=−2,K = - 2, at least one out of Δ1,Δ2,Δ3{\Delta}_{1}, {\Delta}_{2}, {\Delta}_{3} are not zero

Hence for no solution, K=−2K = - 2
