Paragraph: For the system of linear equations 2 x+3 y+5 z=9,7 x+3 y-2 z=8 and 2 x+3 y+ z= Question: Under what condition does the above system of equations have infinitely many solutions?
Options
- A=5 and 9
- B=5 and =9
- C=9 and =5
- D=9 and 5
Correct answer
B. =5 and =9
Step-by-step solution
aligned & A= [ array ccc 2 & 3 & 5 7 & 3 & -2 2 & 3 & array ] and B= [ array l 9 8 array ] & ( Adj A)= [ array ccc 3 +6 & 15-3 & -21 -(7 +4) & 2 -10 & 39 15 & 0 & -15 array ] aligned For infinitely many solutions : ( Adj A) B=0 [ array c 27 +54+120-24 -21 -63 -36+16 -80+39 135+0-15 array ]= [ array l 0 0 0 array ] Hence, =9 and =5 .
