Detailed Solution:For a system of linear homogeneous equations to have a non-trivial solution, the determinant of the coefficient matrix must be zero.
Δ = | 4 λ 2 |
| 2 -1 | = 0
| μ 2 3 |
To simplify, perform the row operation R? → R? - 2R? :
Δ = | 0 λ+2 0 |
| 2 -1 | = 0
| μ 2 3 |
Expand the determinant along the first row:
- (λ+2) * det (| 2 1 |, | μ 3 |) = 0.
- (λ+2) (2*3 - 1*μ) = 0.
(λ+2) (μ-6) = 0.
This implies that either λ+2 = 0 or μ-6 = 0.
So, the conditions are λ = -2 (for any μ) or μ = 6 (for any λ).
