The pair of linear equations $$2x+5y=k, kx+15y=18$$ has infinitely many solutions if
Find the value of $$k$$ for which the given system of equations has infinite number of solutions. $$5x + 2y = 2k$$ and $$2(k+ 1)x + ky = (3k+ 4)$$
Comparing $$ 5x+2y=2k$$ with $$a_1x+b_1y+c_1=0$$, we get,
$$a_1=5, b_1=2,c_1=-2k$$
Comparing $$2(k+1)x+ky=3k+4$$ with $$a_2x+b_2y+c_2=0$$, we get,
$$a_2=2(k+1), b_2=k, c_2=-(3k+4)$$
Now,
Given: the equations has infinite no of solutions.
$$\therefore \dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=\dfrac{b_1}{b_2}=\dfrac{c_1}{c_2}$$
$$\dfrac{5}{2(k+1)}=\dfrac{2}{k}=\dfrac{-2k}{-(3k+4)}$$
When,
$$\dfrac{5}{2(k+1)}=\dfrac{2}{k}$$
$$\implies 5k=4(k+1)$$
$$\implies 5k-4k=4$$
$$\implies k=4$$
and
$$\dfrac{2}{k}=\dfrac{-2k}{-(3k+4)}$$
$$\implies 2(3k+4)=2k^2$$
$$\implies 3k+4=k^2$$
$$\implies k^2-3k-4=0$$
$$\implies k^2-4k+k-4=0$$
$$\implies k(k-4)+(k-4)=0$$
$$\implies (k-4)(k+1)=0$$
Either, $$k=4\space or\space k=-1$$
$$k=4$$ is the value that satisfies both the conditions.
So, $$Option \ A \ is\ correct$$
The pair of linear equations $$2x+5y=k, kx+15y=18$$ has infinitely many solutions if
The pair of linear equations $$2x + ky = k, 4x + 2y = k + 1$$ has infinitely many solutions if
The pair of linear equations $$13x + ky = k, 39x + 6y = k +4$$ has infinitely many solutions if
For what value of $$k$$, do the equations $$3x - y + 8 = 0$$ and $$6x - ky = - 16$$ represent coincident lines?
Find the value of a and b for which the given system of linear equation has an infinite number of solutions. $$2x + 3y = 7$$ and $$(a - b) x + (a + b)y = 3a + b - 2$$
Determine whether the system of linear equations $$2x + 3y - 5 = 0, 6x + 9y - 15 = 0$$ has a unique solution, no solutions, or an infinite number of solutions.
