Q-5. (a) Consider the system of equations
2x + y + Z =
2x y + 2z =
x 2y + 2z = 1.
(i) For what values of and does the system have a unique solution?
(ii) Use Cramers rule to obtain the unique solution in terms of and .
(iii) Are there any other non-unique solutions for other values of and ? If so give a single
example (i.e., choose specic values for and and give the general form of the solution.)
