Q. x1+x2+2x3=−1x1−2x2+x3=−53x1+x2+x3=3 Find all solutions by using the Gaussian elimination & Gauss Jordan Reduction
Set up augmented matrix: Set up the augmented matrix for the system of equations:⎣⎡113amp;1amp;−2amp;1amp;2amp;1amp;1amp;∣amp;∣amp;∣amp;−1amp;−5amp;3⎦⎤
Perform Gaussian elimination: Perform the first step of Gaussian elimination: Make the first element of the first column a 1 (already done), and use it to zero out the rest of the first column.- Subtract the first row from the second row:⎣⎡103amp;1amp;−3amp;1amp;2amp;−1amp;1amp;∣amp;∣amp;∣amp;−1amp;−4amp;3⎦⎤- Subtract 3 times the first row from the third row:⎣⎡100amp;1amp;−3amp;−2amp;2amp;−1amp;−5amp;∣amp;∣amp;∣amp;−1amp;−4amp;6⎦⎤
Normalize second row: Normalize the second row by dividing by −3:⎣⎡100amp;1amp;1amp;−2amp;2amp;1/3amp;−5amp;∣amp;∣amp;∣amp;−1amp;4/3amp;6⎦⎤- Use the second row to zero out the rest of the second column:- Add 2 times the second row to the third row:⎣⎡100amp;1amp;1amp;0amp;2amp;1/3amp;−13/3amp;∣amp;∣amp;∣amp;−1amp;4/3amp;22/3⎦⎤
Use second row: Normalize the third row by multiplying by −3/13:⎣⎡100amp;1amp;1amp;0amp;2amp;1/3amp;1amp;∣amp;∣amp;∣amp;−1amp;4/3amp;−2⎦⎤- Use the third row to zero out the rest of the third column:- Subtract 2 times the third row from the first row and subtract 1/3 times the third row from the second row:⎣⎡100amp;1amp;1amp;0amp;0amp;0amp;1amp;∣amp;∣amp;∣amp;3amp;2amp;−2⎦⎤
Normalize third row: Use the second row to zero out the first column:- Subtract the second row from the first row:⎣⎡100amp;0amp;1amp;0amp;0amp;0amp;1amp;∣amp;∣amp;∣amp;1amp;2amp;−2⎦⎤This is the reduced row echelon form, showing that each variable has a unique solution.
