Question

For what value of ‘k’ , the following pair of linear equations has infinite number

of solutions :


(a)2x + 3y = 2 ; (k + 2)x + (2k + 1)y = 2(k –1)
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There is some correction in this question which is as below

2x-3y-7=0, (k+2)x – (2k+1)y - 3(2k-1)=0

2x – 3y – 7 = 0

(k+2)x – (2k+1)y – 3(2k-1) = 0

We know, the equation is consistent with infinitely many solutions, if

= =

a1 = 2 , b1 = -3 , c1 = -7

a2 = k+2 b2 = -(2k+1) , c2 = -3(2k-1)

now ,

= , =

= =

= =

On Cross multiplication

2(2k+1) = 3(k+2) 3(6k-3) = 7(2k+1)

4k + 2 = 3k + 6 18k – 9 = 14k + 7

4k-3k = 6-2 18k – 14k = 7 + 9

k = 4 ans 4k = 16

k= 16/4

= 4

The value of k = 4 when the given equations have infinitely many solutions

hope it helps

$\underline\mathfrak{Given:-}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: {({2k} \: - \: {1})} \: x \: + \: {({k} \: - \: {2})} \: y \: \: = \: \: {5}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: {({k} \: + \: {2})} \: x \: + \: y \: \: = \: \: {3}$

$\underline\mathfrak{To \: \: Find:-}$

$\: \: \: \: \: The \: \: value \: \: k \: ?$

$\underline\mathfrak{Solutions:-}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \fbox{\dfrac{a_1}{a_2} \: \: = \: \: \dfrac{b_1}{b_2} \: \: \neq \: \: \dfrac{c_1}{c_2}}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \dfrac{{2k} \: - {1}}{{k} \: + \: {2}} \: \: = \: \: \dfrac{{k} \: - \: {2}}{{1}} \: \: \neq \: \: \dfrac{5}{3}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \leadsto \dfrac{{2k} \: - {1}}{{k} \: + \: {2}} \: \: = \: \: \dfrac{{k} \: - \: {2}}{{1}} \: \: \: \: \: .....{(1)}.$

$\: \: \: \: \: \leadsto \dfrac{{k} \: - \: {2}}{{1}} \: \: \neq \: \: \dfrac{5}{3} \: \: \: \: \: .....{(2)}.$

$\: \: \: \: \: Now, \: \: cross \: \: multiple \: \: in \: \: Eq. \: \: {(1)}.$

$\: \: \: \: \: \leadsto \dfrac{{2k} \: - {1}}{{k} \: + \: {2}} \: \: = \: \: \dfrac{{k} \: - \: {2}}{{1}}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \leadsto {{2k} \: - {1}} \: \: = \: \: {({k} \: - \: {2})} \: \times \: {{({k} \: + \: {2})}}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \leadsto {{2k} \: - {1}} \: \: = \: \: {{k}^{2} \: - \: {2}^{2}} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: {[(a \: + \: b) \: (a \: - \: b) \: \: = \: \: ({a}^{2} \: - \: {b}^{2}]}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \leadsto {{2k} \: - {1}} \: \: = \: \: {{k}^{2} \: - \: {4}}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \leadsto {0} \: \: = \: \: {k}^{2} \: - \: {2k} \: - \: {4} \: + \: {1}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \leadsto {0} \: \: = \: \: {k}^{2} \: - \: {2k} \: - \: {3}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \leadsto {k}^{2} \: - \: {2k} \: - \: {3}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \leadsto {k} \: {({k} \: - \: {3})} \: + \: {1} \: {({k} \: - \: {3})}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \leadsto {({k} \: + \: {1})} \: \: \: {({k} \: - \: {3})}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \leadsto {k} \: \: = \: \: {-1} \: \: \: Or \: \: \: {k} \: \: = \: \: {3}$

$\: \: \: \: \: Hence, \: \: the \: \: the \: \: value \: \: of \: \: k \: \: is \: \:{-1} \: \: and \: \: {3}.$

$\: \: \: \: \: \dfrac{{k} \: - \: {2}}{{1}} \: \: \neq \: \: \dfrac{5}{3} \: \: \: \: \: .....{(2)}.$
