For α,β, suppose the system of linear equations
x-y+z=5 
2x+2y+αz=8
3x-y+4z=β

has infinitely many solutions. Then α and β are the roots of 

  1. x2-10x+16=0
  2. x2+18x+56=0
  3. x2-18x+56=0
  4. x2+14x+24=0

Solution

Given,

α,β, suppose the system of linear equations
x-y+z=5 
2x+2y+αz=8
3x-y+4z=β

has infinitely many solutions,

So, finding =0 we get,

1-1122α3-14=0

8+α-2(-4+1)+3(-α-2)=0

8+α+6-3α-6=0

α=4

Now finding z=0 we get,

1-152283-1β=0

3-18+1-2+β4=0

β=14

Hence, quadratic equation having roots 4 &14  will be, x2-4+14x+4×14=0

x2-18x+56=0
