Homework Statement


Consider the homogenous system:
L_1 \rightarrow (4-t)x + y = 0
L_2 \rightarrow 2x + (3 -t)y = 0

Find two values of t that make the system dependent.
For each value of t, find a nonzero solution to the the system.

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution


You can't use t = 4 or t = 3 because it will lead to a zero solution.
I have found one of the values is t = 2, but I can't seem to find another value for t that makes the system dependent.

Try filling in step 2. What equation can you give which will define the propoerty of making the system dependent?
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
