Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image shows a matrix operation problem where you are required to perform elementary row operations on the given matrix. The operations indicated are:
- (add row 3 to row 1)
- (multiply row 3 by -3 and then add it to row 2)
Let's first write down the given matrix and apply the indicated operations step by step:
The given matrix is:
3 & -9 & 3 & -6 \\ 1 & -3 & 1 & -2 \\ -5 & -8 & 4 & 7 \end{pmatrix}$$ ### Step 1: Apply the first operation $$R_3 + R_1$$ (add row 3 to row 1) Performing $$R_1 = R_3 + R_1$$: $$R_1 = (3, -9, 3, -6) + (-5, -8, 4, 7) = (-2, -17, 7, 1)$$ The new matrix is: $$\begin{pmatrix} -2 & -17 & 7 & 1 \\ 1 & -3 & 1 & -2 \\ -5 & -8 & 4 & 7 \end{pmatrix}$$ ### Step 2: Apply the second operation $$-3R_3 + R_2$$ (multiply row 3 by -3, then add it to row 2) First, multiply row 3 by -3: $$-3R_3 = (-3)(-5, -8, 4, 7) = (15, 24, -12, -21)$$ Now, add this result to row 2: $$R_2 = (1, -3, 1, -2) + (15, 24, -12, -21) = (16, 21, -11, -23)$$ The final matrix is: $$\begin{pmatrix} -2 & -17 & 7 & 1 \\ 16 & 21 & -11 & -23 \\ -5 & -8 & 4 & 7 \end{pmatrix}$$ So, the resulting matrix after performing the indicated row operations is: $$\boxed{ \begin{pmatrix} -2 & -17 & 7 & 1 \\ 16 & 21 & -11 & -23 \\ -5 & -8 & 4 & 7 \end{pmatrix} }$$ Let me know if you need further details, or if you have any questions!
