The system of linear equations 3 x - 2 y - k z = 10 2 x - 4 y - 2 z = 6 x + 2 y - z = 5   m is…

The system of linear equations

3x-2y-kz=10

2x-4y-2z=6

x+2y-z=5 m
is inconsistent if :

  1. k=3, m45
  2. k=3, m=45
  3. k3, mR
  4. k3, m45

Solution

For inconsistent system of equation the conditions should be =0 and at least one of the x or y or z should not be equal to zero.

Now,

Δ=3-2-k2-4-212-1=0

24+20-k8=0k=3

And,

Δx=10-2-36-4-25 m2-1

x=108-2-10 m+6-312+20 m

x=84-5m

x0m45

Δy=310-326-215 m-1

=3-6+10 m+100-310 m-6

=0

Δz=3-2102-46125m

Δz=3-20m-12+210m-6+104+4

Δz=-60m-36+20m-12+80

Δz=-40m+32

z=84-5m

z0m45
