Question

kx + y + z = 1 x + ky + z = 1 x + y + kz = 1 in unknowns x, y, and z and where k is a real number. (a) For what value(s) of k does the system have infinitely many solutions ? (b) For what value(s) of k is the system inconsistent? (c) For what value(s) of k does the system have exactly one solution?

          kx + y + z = 1
x + ky + z = 1
x + y + kz = 1
in unknowns x, y, and z and where k is a real number.

Step 1

The system of equations is: kx + y + z = 1 x + ky + z = 1 x + y + kz = 1 This can be written in matrix form as: [A|B] = \[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} k & 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & k & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & k & 1 \\ \end{array} \] Show more…
