For a certain value of k , the system
x + y + 3z = 10 -4x + 2y + 5z = 7
kx + z = 3 has no solutions. What is this value of k ?
For a certain value of k , the systemx+y+3z=10−4x+2y+5z=7kx+z=3has no solutions.
What is this value of k ?
|113−425k01|=01⋅|2501|−1⋅|−45k1|+3⋅|−42k0|=02−(−4−5k)+3(−2k)=02+4+5k−6k=06−k=0k=6
x + y + 3z = 10 ⇒ -2x - 2y - 6z = -20 (1)-4x + 2y + 5z = 7 (2)
kx + z = 3
Add (1) and (2) and we get that
-6x - z = -13 ⇒ 6x + z = 13
When k = 6....then we have this system
6x + z = 13
6x + z = 3
But this is impossible.....so.....k = 6
