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
Since, the system of linear equations has, non-trivialsolution 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
