System of linear equations
Question

The number of values of θ in(0, π) for which the system of linear equationsx+3 y+7 z=0,-x+4 y+7 z=0,  (sin3θ)x+(cos2θ)y+2z=0 has a non-trivial solution, is 

Moderate
Solution

Since, the system of linear equations has, non-trivial
solution then determinant of coefficient matrix =0

 i.e. sin3θcos2θ2137-147=0

sin3θ(21-28)-cos2θ(7+7)+2(4+3)=0

sin3θ+2cos2θ-2=0

3sinθ-4sin3θ+2-4sin2θ-2=0

4sin3θ+4sin2θ-3sinθ=0

sinθ4sin2θ+4sinθ-3=0

sinθ4sin2θ+6sinθ-2sinθ-3=0

sinθ[2sinθ(2sinθ-1)+3(2sinθ-1)]=0

sinθ(2sinθ-1)(2sinθ+3)=0

sinθ=0,sinθ=12  sinθ-32

θ=π6,5π6

 Hence, for two values of θ system of equations has non trivial solution
