**Problem 17: Quadratic Form and Null Space**

The quadratic form \( Q(x, y, z) \) is defined by:

\[ Q(x, y, z) = 5x^2 + 3xy + 3y^2 + 2xz + 3yz + tz^2 \]

Let \( A \) be the symmetric matrix such that:

\[ Q(x, y, z) = (x \; y \; z) A \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{pmatrix} \]

There exists one value of \( t \) for which the null space of \( A \) (denoted as \(\text{Nul } A\)) is nontrivial. For this value of \( t \), there is a vector 

\[
\begin{pmatrix} a \\ b \\ c \end{pmatrix}
\]

such that:

\[
\text{Nul } A = \text{span} \left\{ \begin{pmatrix} a \\ b \\ c \end{pmatrix} \right\}
\]

For this particular value of \( t \), determine the value of \( \frac{a+b}{c} + t \), unless this value does not exist. If it does not exist, record your answer as 999.
