Answer \rightarrow k=\pm 1

Given \rightarrow The system of equations x-k y-z=0, k x-y-z=0 \text { and } x+y-z=0 has non-zero solution

To find \rightarrow We have to find out the value of k.

Hint \rightarrow The system has a non-zero solution if \left | A \right |=0

Solution \rightarrow Given system of linear equation

\begin{aligned} &x-k y-z=0 \\ &k x-y-z=0 \\ &x+y-z=0 \end{aligned}

For the given system of equations we have,

\Rightarrow A=\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & -k & -1 \\ k & -1 & -1 \\ 1 & 1 & -1 \end{array}\right|

We know, if system of equation has a non-zero solution then \left | A \right |=0

\text { Now, }|A|=\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & -k & -1 \\ k & -1 & -1 \\ 1 & 1 & -1 \end{array}\right|=0

\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow 1(1+1)+k(-k+1)-1(k+1)=0 \\ &\Rightarrow 2-k^{2}+k-k-1=0 \\ &\Rightarrow k^{2}=1 \\ &\Rightarrow k=\pm 1 \end{aligned}
