The system of equations have non trivial solutions

A
True
💡 Explanation:

A system of homogeneous linear equations has non-trivial solutions if the determinant of the coefficient matrix is zero. The determinant of [[1, 2, 3], [2, 3, 4], [7, 13, 19]] is 1(57-52) - 2(38-28) + 3(26-21) = 5 - 20 + 15 = 0. Since the determinant is zero, non-trivial solutions exist.
