Let $(x, y, z)$ be points with integer coordinates satisfying the system of homogeneous equations: $3x-y-z=0$ ...(i) $- 3x + z = 0$ ...(ii) $-3x+2y+z = 0$ ...(iii) Then, the number of such points for which $x^2 + y^2+z^2 ≤100$, is |
6 7 49 none of these |
7 |
Adding (i) and (ii) equations, we get $y = 0$. From equation (ii), we have $z = 3x$. It is given that $x^2 + y^2+z^2 ≤100$ $∴x^2 ≤10$ $⇒-\sqrt{10} ≤ x ≤ \sqrt{10}⇒ x=± 3, ±2, ±1, 0$ [∵ x is an integer] Hence, there are 7 points. |
