Given rank of \(\left[ \begin{matrix} \lambda & -1 & 0 \\ 0 & \lambda & -1 \\ -1 & 0 & \lambda \end{matrix} \right] \) is 2
⇒ The value of the third order determinant is zero
⇒ \(\left[ \begin{matrix} \lambda & -1 & 0 \\ 0 & \lambda & -1 \\ -1 & 0 & \lambda \end{matrix} \right] \)=0
⇒ λ\(\left| \begin{matrix} \lambda & -1 \\ 0 & \lambda \end{matrix} \right| +1\left| \begin{matrix} 0 & -1 \\ -1 & \lambda \end{matrix} \right| \)+0 = 0
⇒ λ(λ² - 0) + 1(0 - 1) = 0
⇒ λ³ - 1 = 0 ⇒ λ³ = 1 ⇒ λ = 1
∴ λ = 1

The matrix from of the system of equations is
\(\left[ \begin{matrix} 2 & -3 \\ 4 & -6 \end{matrix} \right] \left[ \begin{matrix} x \\ y \end{matrix} \right] =\left[ \begin{matrix} 7 \\ 14 \end{matrix} \right] \) ⇒ AX = B where
A =\(\left[ \begin{matrix} 2 & -3 \\ 4 & -6 \end{matrix} \right] ,X=\left[ \begin{matrix} x \\ y \end{matrix} \right] \) and B =\(\left[ \begin{matrix} 7 \\ 14 \end{matrix} \right] \)
Transforming augmented matrix to row-echelon form we get
[A|B] =\(\left[ \begin{matrix} 2 & -3 \\ 4 & -6 \end{matrix} \right] \left[ \begin{matrix} x \\ y \end{matrix} \right] \overset { { R }_{ 2 }\rightarrow { R }_{ 2 }-2{ R }_{ 1 } }{ \longrightarrow } \left[ \begin{matrix} 2 & -3 \\ 0 & 0 \end{matrix}|\begin{matrix} 7 \\ 0 \end{matrix} \right] \)
Here \(\rho\) (A) = \(\rho\) [A|B] = 1
∴ \(\rho\) (A) = \(\rho\) [A|B] = 1 < the number of unknowns, the system is consistent and has one parameter family of solutions
∴ Put y = t, where t \(\in \) R
Writing the row-echelon form to equations we get
 2x - 3y = 7
∴ 2x - 3t = 7
⇒  2x = 7 + 3t
⇒ x = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)(7 + 3t)
∴ Solution set is {\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)(7+3t), t} where t \(\in \) R.

Let A =\(\left[ \begin{matrix} 4 \\ -2 \\ 1 \end{matrix}\begin{matrix} 4 \\ 3 \\ 4 \end{matrix}\begin{matrix} 0 \\ -1 \\ 8 \end{matrix}\begin{matrix} 3 \\ 5 \\ 7 \end{matrix} \right] \)
A\(\overset { { R }_{ 1 }\leftrightarrow { R }_{ 3 } }{ \longrightarrow } \left[ \begin{matrix} 1 \\ -2 \\ 4 \end{matrix}\begin{matrix} 4 \\ 3 \\ 4 \end{matrix}\begin{matrix} 8 \\ -1 \\ 0 \end{matrix}\begin{matrix} 3 \\ 5 \\ 7 \end{matrix} \right] \)
\(\overset { { R }_{ 2 }\rightarrow { R }_{ 2 }+2{ R }_{ 1 }\\ { R }_{ 3 }\rightarrow { R }_{ 3 }-4{ R }_{ 1 } }{ \longrightarrow } \left[ \begin{matrix} 1 \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{matrix}\begin{matrix} 4 \\ 11 \\ -12 \end{matrix}\begin{matrix} 8 \\ 15 \\ -32 \end{matrix}\begin{matrix} 7 \\ 19 \\ -25 \end{matrix} \right] \)
A is in row - echelon form and it has 3 non-zero rows.
∴ \(\rho\) (A) = 3

AB =\(\left[ \begin{matrix} 2 & 1 \\ 5 & 3 \end{matrix} \right] \left[ \begin{matrix} 4 & 5 \\ 3 & 4 \end{matrix} \right] =\left[ \begin{matrix} 8+3 & 10+4 \\ 20+9 & 25+12 \end{matrix} \right] \)
=\(\left[ \begin{matrix} 11 & 14 \\ 29 & 37 \end{matrix} \right]\)
|AB| =\(\left[ \begin{matrix} 11 & 14 \\ 29 & 37 \end{matrix} \right]\)
= 407 - 406 = 1 ≠ 0
(AB)^-1 = \(\frac { 1 }{ |AB| } \) adj(AB)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 1 } \left[ \begin{matrix} 11 & 14 \\ 29 & 37 \end{matrix} \right] \)
= \(\left[ \begin{matrix} 37 & -14 \\ -29 & 11 \end{matrix} \right] \) ....(1)
|A| =\(\left[ \begin{matrix} 2 & 1 \\ 5 & 3 \end{matrix} \right] \) = 6 - 5 =1
|B| =\(\left[ \begin{matrix} 4 & 5 \\ 3 & 4 \end{matrix} \right] \) = 16 - 15 = 1
B^-1 = \(\frac { 1 }{ |B| } adjB=\left[ \begin{matrix} 4 & -5 \\ -3 & 4 \end{matrix} \right] \)
A^-1 = \(\frac { 1 }{ |A| } adjA=\left[ \begin{matrix} 3 & -1 \\ -5 & 2 \end{matrix} \right] \)
∴ B^-1A^-1 =\(\left[ \begin{matrix} 4 & -5 \\ -3 & 4 \end{matrix} \right] \left[ \begin{matrix} 3 & -1 \\ -5 & 2 \end{matrix} \right] \)
=\(\\ \left[ \begin{matrix} 12+25 & -4-10 \\ -9-20 & 3+8 \end{matrix} \right] \)
=\(\left[ \begin{matrix} 37 & -14 \\ -29 & 11 \end{matrix} \right] \)....(2)
From (1) and (2), (AB)^-1 = B^-1A^-1

\(\Delta = \left| \begin{matrix} t & 3 & -1 \\ 1 & 2 & 1 \\ -t & 1 & 2 \end{matrix} \right| =t\left| \begin{matrix} 2 & 1 \\ 1 & 2 \end{matrix} \right| -3\left| \begin{matrix} 1 & 1 \\ -t & 2 \end{matrix} \right| -\left| \begin{matrix} 1 & 2 \\ -t & 1 \end{matrix} \right| \)
= t(4 - 1) -3 (2 + t) -1(1 + 2t)
= 3t - 6i - 3t - 1 - 2t = - 7 - 2t
The system will fail to have unique solution if
Δ = 0 ⇒ -7-2t = 0 ⇒ -2t = 7 ⇒ t = \(\frac { -7 }{ 2 } \)
∴ t = \(\frac { -7 }{ 2 } \).
