Math Problem Statement
write the matrix set up
Solution
To set up the system of equations into matrix form, we follow these steps:
Given the system of equations:
1) \quad 3x + 2y - z &= 9 \\ 2) \quad x - y + 3z &= 3 \\ 3) \quad 2x + 3y - 4z &= 6 \\ \end{aligned}$$ ### Step 1: Write the coefficient matrix (A) The coefficient matrix consists of the coefficients of the variables $$x$$, $$y$$, and $$z$$ from the system of equations: $$A = \begin{pmatrix} 3 & 2 & -1 \\ 1 & -1 & 3 \\ 2 & 3 & -4 \end{pmatrix}$$ ### Step 2: Write the variable matrix (X) This matrix contains the variables $$x$$, $$y$$, and $$z$$: $$X = \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{pmatrix}$$ ### Step 3: Write the constant matrix (B) The constants on the right-hand side of the equations form the constant matrix: $$B = \begin{pmatrix} 9 \\ 3 \\ 6 \end{pmatrix}$$ ### Step 4: Matrix equation form Now, we can write the system of equations as a matrix equation in the form $$AX = B$$: $$\begin{pmatrix} 3 & 2 & -1 \\ 1 & -1 & 3 \\ 2 & 3 & -4 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 9 \\ 3 \\ 6 \end{pmatrix}$$ This is the matrix setup for the given system of equations. --- Would you like further details or have any questions?
