=k2(k−1)+k(k−1)−2(k−1)
=(k−1)(k2+k−2)=(k−1)2(k+2) Nonhomogeneous system of linear equations has a unique non-trivial solution if and only if
detA=0=>(k−1)2(k+2)=0 The system has a unique non-trivial solution if k∈R,k=1,k=−2.
If k=1, we have
x+y+z=1x+y+z=1x+y+z=1
The system has an infinite number of solutions if k=1.
If k=−2, we have
−2x+y+z=1x−2y+z=1x+y−2z=1
−3x+3y=03y−3z=0x+y−2z=1
x=yy=zy+y−2y=1
The system has no solution if k=−2.
