The system of linear equations x+(sina)y+(cosa)z=0 x+(cosa)y+(sina)z=0 x-(sina)y-(cosa)z=0 has a non trivial solution for only one value of a lying in interval (0,π/2) . Is statement true or false??

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

I m getting it true...

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

for non trivial solution,DETERMINANT SHOULD BE ZERO

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

Correct ...!

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

And if u solve the determinant then there will turn out to be one value of a for which determinant can be zero

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

Which is π/4

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

wait, lemme solve your first doubt

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

you are getting pi/4

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

so it is true statement

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

Nope ans is wrong

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

i didn't solve it yet

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

So , will u do it ?

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

wait, i'm solving now

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

is answer false ?

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

Obviously

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

Did u get it?

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

YE

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

Tell !

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

is bracket OPENED or CLOSED ?

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

Open

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

it is true for all values lies between 0 and pi/2

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

How is it possible ? I got jst one value of a for which determinant is 0

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

try for a=30 degrees and a=60 degrees and tell me what you get ?

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

Did u do it in proper determinant way?

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

yeah !

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

okay, show your work first

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

I got just one value from that condition... Cos 2a was remaining finally which would be 0 only for a =π/4

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

nothing is remaining

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

you done a calculation mistake
