Math Problem Statement
(a) Solve the linear system J- 1010 (Contd.) =1 2x +x, +4x, =2 10 +2x, -X, |3x, +3x, +4x, =1
Solution
To solve the given linear system of equations, let us rewrite the problem clearly. Based on your input, the system appears to be:
Step 1: Write in Matrix Form
The system can be written as:
2 & 1 & 4 \\ -1 & 2 & -1 \\ 3 & 3 & 4 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} x_1 \\ x_2 \\ x_3 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 2 \\ -10 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix}$$ ### Step 2: Solve Using Gaussian Elimination 1. Start with the augmented matrix: $$\begin{bmatrix} 2 & 1 & 4 & | & 2 \\ -1 & 2 & -1 & | & -10 \\ 3 & 3 & 4 & | & 1 \end{bmatrix}$$ 2. Eliminate the first column below the pivot $$2$$ (row 1): - Multiply row 1 by $$\frac{1}{2}$$ for normalization. - Row 2: \( R_2 + \frac{1}{2}R_<opt|` .
