Solution
To solve the given system of equations using Gauss elimination with partial pivoting, follow these steps:
Step 1: Represent the system as an augmented matrix
We write the system of equations as follows:
1. & \; 6x + y - 6z - 5w = 6 \\ 2. & \; 4x - 3y + 0z + w = -7 \\ 3. & \; 2x + 2y + 3z + 2w = -2 \\ 4. & \; 0x + 2y + 0z + w = 0 \end{aligned}$$ The corresponding augmented matrix is: $$\mathbf{A|b} = \begin{bmatrix} 6 & 1 & -6 & -5 & 6 \\ 4 & -3 & 0 & 1 & -7 \\ 2 & 2 & 3 & 2 & -2 \\ 0 & 2 & 0 & 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$$ ### Step 2: Perform partial pivoting and eliminate below the pivot #### **First column (pivot: 6):** 1. The first pivot is $$6$$ (from row 1). No row exchange is needed because it is already the largest magnitude in column 1. 2. Eliminate entries below the pivot (column 1 for rows 2 and 3): $$R_2 \to R_2 - \frac{4}{6}R_1, \quad R_3 \to R_3 - \frac{2}{6}R_1$$ Perform the calculations: - $$R_2: \begin{bmatrix} 4 & -3 & 0 & 1 & -7 \end{bmatrix} - \frac{4}{6} \begin{bmatrix} 6 & 1 & -6 & -5 & 6 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & -\frac{11}{3} & 4 & \frac{26}{3} & -\frac{50}{3} \end{bmatrix}$$ - $$R_3: \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 2 & 3 & 2 & -2 \end{bmatrix} - \frac{2}{6} \begin{bmatrix} 6 & 1 & -6 & -5 & 6 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & \frac{5}{3} & 5 & \frac{16}{3} & -4 \end{bmatrix}$$ The matrix becomes: $$\begin{bmatrix} 6 & 1 & -6 & -5 & 6 \\ 0 & -\frac{11}{3} & 4 & \frac{26}{3} & -\frac{50}{3} \\ 0 & \frac{5}{3} & 5 & \frac{16}{3} & -4 \\ 0 & 2 & 0 & 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$$ #### **Second column (pivot: -11/3):** 1. Perform partial pivoting in column 2. The largest magnitude in column 2 is $$2$$ (row 4), so swap $$R_2$$ and $$R_4$$. $$R_2 \leftrightarrow R_4$$ The matrix becomes: $$\begin{bmatrix} 6 & 1 & -6 & -5 & 6 \\ 0 & 2 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & \frac{5}{3} & 5 & \frac{16}{3} & -4 \\ 0 & -\frac{11}{3} & 4 & \frac{26}{3} & -\frac{50}{3} \end{bmatrix}$$ 2. Eliminate entries below the pivot (column 2 for rows 3 and 4): $$R_3 \to R_3 - \frac{\frac{5}{3}}{2} R_2, \quad R_4 \to R_4 - \frac{-\frac{11}{3}}{2} R_2$$ Perform the calculations. #### Update the matrix: Repeat this process for columns 3 and 4 to reduce the matrix to upper triangular form. ### Step 3: Back-substitution Solve for the variables $$z, w, y, x$$ starting from the last equation and substituting back into the earlier ones.
