Let $\lambda, \mu \in \mathbf{R}$. If the system of equations
$$\begin{aligned} & 3 x+5 y+\lambda z=3 \\ & 7 x+11 y-9 z=2 \\ & 97 x+155 y-189 z=\mu \end{aligned}$$
has infinitely many solutions, then $\mu+2 \lambda$ is equal to :
Solution
<p>$$\begin{aligned}
& 3 x+5 y+\lambda z=3 \\
& 7 x+11 y-9 z=2 \\
& 97 x+155 y-189 z=\mu
\end{aligned}$$</p>
<p>$$\begin{aligned}
& {\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
3 & 5 & \lambda \\
7 & 11 & -9 \\
97 & 155 & -189
\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{l}
x \\
y \\
z
\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{l}
3 \\
2 \\
\mu
\end{array}\right]} \\
& A X=B \\
& X=A^{-1} B \\
& X=\frac{\operatorname{adj} A}{|A|} B
\end{aligned}$$</p>
<p>For Infinitely many solution</p>
<p>$$\begin{aligned}
& |A|=0 \text { and }(\operatorname{adj} A) B=0 \\
& \left|\begin{array}{ccc}
3 & 5 & \lambda \\
7 & 11 & -9 \\
97 & 155 & -189
\end{array}\right|=0 \\
& -2052+2250+18 \lambda=0 \\
& \Rightarrow \lambda=-11 \\
& \operatorname{adj} A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
-684 & -760 & 76 \\
450 & 500 & -50 \\
18 & 20 & -2
\end{array}\right] \\
& (\operatorname{adj} A) B=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
684 & -760 & 76 \\
450 & 500 & -50 \\
18 & 20 & -2
\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{l}
3 \\
2 \\
\mu
\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{l}
0 \\
0 \\
0
\end{array}\right] \\
& \Rightarrow 54+40-2 \mu=0 \\
& \Rightarrow 2 \mu=94 \\
& \Rightarrow \mu=47 \\
& \Rightarrow \mu+2 \lambda=25
\end{aligned}$$</p>
