Math Problem Statement

solve iii)

Solve the system of equations (iii) using the matrix inverse method: \[ \begin{aligned} x + y + z &= 9 \\ 3x + 2y - z &= 8 \\ 3x + y + 2z &= 1 \end{aligned} \]

Solution

To solve the given system of equations for (iii) using the matrix inverse method, we follow these steps:

The system of equations is:

x+y+z=9x + y + z = 9 3x+2yz=83x + 2y - z = 8 3x+y+2z=13x + y + 2z = 1

Step 1: Represent the system in matrix form

This can be written as:

AX=B\mathbf{A} \cdot \mathbf{X} = \mathbf{B}

Where:

1 & 1 & 1 \\ 3 & 2 & -1 \\ 3 & 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}, \quad \mathbf{X} = \begin{bmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{bmatrix}, \quad \mathbf{B} = \begin{bmatrix} 9 \\ 8 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix}$$ ### Step 2: Find the inverse of matrix $$\mathbf{A}$$ The solution is given by: $$\mathbf{X} = \mathbf{A}^{-1} \cdot \mathbf{B}$$ Let us compute the inverse of $$\mathbf{A}$$ and solve for $$\mathbf{X}$$. ### Step 3: Compute the determinant of $$\mathbf{A}$$ The determinant of $$\mathbf{A}$$ is: $$\text{det}(\mathbf{A}) = 1 \cdot (2 \cdot 2 - (-1) \cdot 1) - 1 \cdot (3 \cdot 2 - (-1) \cdot 3) + 1 \cdot (3 \cdot 1 - 3 \cdot 2)$$ $$\text{det}(\mathbf{A}) = 1 \cdot (4 + 1) - 1 \cdot (6 + 3) + 1 \cdot (3 - 6)$$ $$\text{det}(\mathbf{A}) = 5 - 9 - 3 = -7$$ Since $$\text{det}(\mathbf{A}) \neq 0$$, the matrix is invertible. ### Step 4: Compute the inverse of $$\mathbf{A}$$ The formula for the inverse of a 3x3 matrix is: $$\mathbf{A}^{-1} = \frac{1}{\text{det}(\mathbf{A})} \cdot \text{adj}(\mathbf{A})$$ Where $$\text{adj}(\mathbf{A})$$ is the adjugate of $$\mathbf{A}$$, computed using cofactors. #### Cofactors of $$\mathbf{A}$$: 1. For element (1,1): $$\text{Cofactor} = \text{det} \begin{bmatrix} 2 & -1 \\ 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix} = (2)(2) - (-1)(1) = 4 + 1 = 5$$ 2. For element (1,2): $$\text{Cofactor} = -\text{det} \begin{bmatrix} 3 & -1 \\ 3 & 2 \end{bmatrix} = -(3 \cdot 2 - (-1) \cdot 3) = -(6 + 3) = -9$$ 3. For element (1,3): $$\text{Cofactor} = \text{det} \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 2 \\ 3 & 1 \end{bmatrix} = (3)(1) - (2)(3) = 3 - 6 = -3$$ ... Compute for all elements. Let me calculate further. numpy as np # Define matrix A and B A = np.array([ [1, 1, 1], [3, 2, -1], [3, 1, 2] ]) B = np.array([9, 8, 1]) # Compute the inverse of A A_inv = np.linalg.inv(A) # Solve for X X = np.dot(A_inv, B) A_inv, XThe solution to the system of equations is: $$\mathbf{A}^{-1} = \begin{bmatrix} -0.714 & 0.143 & 0.429 \\ 1.286 & 0.143 & -0.571 \\ 0.429 & -0.286 & 0.143 \end{bmatrix}$$ $$\mathbf{X} = \begin{bmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -4.857 \\ 12.143 \\ 1.714 \end{bmatrix}$$ Thus: $$x = -4.857, \quad y = 12.143, \quad z = 1.714$$ ### Final Answer: $$x \approx -4.86, \quad y \approx 12.14, \quad z \approx 1.71$$ --- Would you like me to explain any step in further detail? ### Related Questions: 1.

Can matrix inversion fail for certain systems of equations? If yes, why? 4. How can the computational efficiency of solving systems using matrix inverses be improved? 5.
