Let S\mathrm{S} be the set of values of λ\lambda , for which the system of equations

6λx−3y+3z=4λ26 \lambda x-3 y+3 z=4 \lambda^{2} ,

2x+6λy+4z=12 x+6 \lambda y+4 z=1 ,

3x+2y+3λz=λ3 x+2 y+3 \lambda z=\lambda has no solution. Then 12∑i∈S|λ| is equal to ___________.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Given that SS be the set of values of λ\lambda for which given system of equations has no solution.

Therefore for the given set of equations

Δ=∣6λamp;−3amp;32amp;6λamp;43amp;2amp;3λ∣=0\Delta=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}6 \lambda & -3 & 3 \\2 & 6 \lambda & 4 \\3 & 2 & 3 \lambda\end{array}\right|=0

amp;⇒6λ(18λ2−8)+3(6λ−12)+3(4−18λ)=0amp;⇒18λ3−14λ−4=0amp;⇒(λ−1)(3λ+1)(3λ+2)=0amp;⇒λ=1,−13,−23\begin{aligned}&\Rightarrow6 \lambda\left(18 \lambda^2-8\right)+3(6 \lambda-12)+3(4-18 \lambda)=0 \\\\&\Rightarrow18 \lambda^3-14 \lambda-4=0 \\\\&\Rightarrow(\lambda-1)(3 \lambda+1)(3 \lambda+2)=0 \\\\&\Rightarrow \lambda=1,-\frac{1}{3},-\frac{2}{3}\end{aligned}

Also for each values of λ=1,−13,−23\lambda=1, \frac{-1}{3}, \frac{-2}{3} , we have

∣6λamp;−3amp;4λ22amp;6λamp;13amp;2amp;λ∣≠0\left|\begin{array}{ccc}6 \lambda & -3 & 4 \lambda^2 \\2 & 6 \lambda & 1 \\3 & 2 & \lambda\end{array}\right| \neq 0

which implies that, for each values of λ\lambda , the given system of equations has no solution.

amp; Therefore S∈{1,−13,−23} and amp;12∑λ∈S∣λ∣amp;=12(∣1∣+∣−13∣+∣−23∣)amp;=12(1+13+23)=12(63)=24\begin{aligned}& \text { Therefore } S \in\left\{1, \frac{-1}{3}, \frac{-2}{3}\right\} \text { and } \\\\&12 \sum_{\lambda \in S}|\lambda| \\\\& =12\left(|1|+\left|\frac{-1}{3}\right|+\left|\frac{-2}{3}\right|\right) \\\\& =12\left(1+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{2}{3}\right)=12\left(\frac{6}{3}\right)=24\end{aligned}
