The system of equations   kx+y+z=1,  x+ky+z=k   and   x+y+kz=k^2  have  no solution if   k  equals
$$\mathrm{The}\:\mathrm{system}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{equations}\:\:\:{kx}+{y}+{z}=\mathrm{1}, \\ $$$${x}+{ky}+{z}={k}\:\:\:\mathrm{and}\:\:\:{x}+{y}+{kz}={k}^{\mathrm{2}} \:\mathrm{have} \\ $$$$\mathrm{no}\:\mathrm{solution}\:\mathrm{if}\:\:\:{k}\:\:\mathrm{equals} \\ $$

⇒k  determinant (((k    1)),((1    k)))− determinant (((1   1)),((1   k)))+ determinant (((1    k)),((1    1)))=0  k(k^2 −1)−(k−1)+1−k = 0  k^3 −k−k+1+1−k = 0  k^3  −3k+2 = 0   (k−1)(k^2 +k−2) =0  (k−1)(k+2)(k−1) = 0  k =  { (1),((−2)) :}
$$\Rightarrow{k}\:\begin{vmatrix}{{k}\:\:\:\:\mathrm{1}}\\{\mathrm{1}\:\:\:\:{k}}\end{vmatrix}−\begin{vmatrix}{\mathrm{1}\:\:\:\mathrm{1}}\\{\mathrm{1}\:\:\:{k}}\end{vmatrix}+\begin{vmatrix}{\mathrm{1}\:\:\:\:{k}}\\{\mathrm{1}\:\:\:\:\mathrm{1}}\end{vmatrix}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${k}\left({k}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{1}\right)−\left({k}−\mathrm{1}\right)+\mathrm{1}−{k}\:=\:\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${k}^{\mathrm{3}} −{k}−{k}+\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{1}−{k}\:=\:\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${k}^{\mathrm{3}} \:−\mathrm{3}{k}+\mathrm{2}\:=\:\mathrm{0}\: \\ $$$$\left({k}−\mathrm{1}\right)\left({k}^{\mathrm{2}} +{k}−\mathrm{2}\right)\:=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\left({k}−\mathrm{1}\right)\left({k}+\mathrm{2}\right)\left({k}−\mathrm{1}\right)\:=\:\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${k}\:=\:\begin{cases}{\mathrm{1}}\\{−\mathrm{2}}\end{cases} \\ $$
