Solution

To solve the system of equations using the Gauss Elimination method, we'll follow the steps to convert the system into an upper triangular matrix and then perform back substitution. The system of equations is:

10x - 2y + 3z &= 23 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \\ 2x + 10y - 5z &= -33 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \\ 3x - 4y + 10z &= 41 \quad \text{(Equation 3)} \end{aligned}$$ ### Step 1: Write the augmented matrix The augmented matrix corresponding to the system is: $$\begin{pmatrix} 10 & -2 & 3 & \vert & 23 \\ 2 & 10 & -5 & \vert & -33 \\ 3 & -4 & 10 & \vert & 41 \\ \end{pmatrix}$$ ### Step 2: Perform row operations to obtain an upper triangular matrix #### Operation 1: Eliminate $$x$$ from the second and third rows - $$R_2 \rightarrow R_2 - \frac{2}{10}R_1 = R_2 - \frac{1}{5}R_1$$ - $$R_3 \rightarrow R_3 - \frac{3}{10}R_1$$ $$\begin{pmatrix} 10 & -2 & 3 & \vert & 23 \\ 0 & 10 + \frac{2}{5} & -5 - \frac{3}{5} & \vert & -33 - \frac{23}{5} \\ 0 & -4 + \frac{6}{10} & 10 - \frac{9}{10} & \vert & 41 - \frac{69}{10} \\ \end{pmatrix}$$ Simplifying the operations: $$\begin{pmatrix} 10 & -2 & 3 & \vert & 23 \\ 0 & \frac{52}{5} & -\frac{28}{5} & \vert & -\frac{198}{5} \\ 0 & -\frac{34}{10} & \frac{91}{10} & \vert & \frac{341}{10} \\ \end{pmatrix}$$ Simplified further: $$\begin{pmatrix} 10 & -2 & 3 & \vert & 23 \\ 0 & 10.4 & -5.6 & \vert & -39.6 \\ 0 & -1.7 & 9.1 & \vert & 34.1 \\ \end{pmatrix}$$ #### Operation 2: Eliminate $$y$$ from the third row - $$R_3 \rightarrow R_3 - \left(\frac{-1.7}{10.4}\right)R_2$$ The matrix becomes: $$\begin{pmatrix} 10 & -2 & 3 & \vert & 23 \\ 0 & 10.4 & -5.6 & \vert & -39.6 \\ 0 & 0 & 8.2 & \vert & 28.8 \\ \end{pmatrix}$$ ### Step 3: Back Substitution Now that the matrix is in upper triangular form, we can solve for $$z$$, then $$y$$, and finally $$x$$. #### Solving for $$z$$: $$8.2z = 28.8 \implies z = \frac{28.8}{8.2} \approx 3.51$$ #### Solving for $$y$$: $$10.4y - 5.6(3.51) = -39.6 \\ y = \frac{-39.6 + 19.656}{10.4} \approx -1.919$$ #### Solving for $$x$$: $$10x - 2(-1.919) + 3(3.51) = 23 \\ x = \frac{23 - 6.527 - 7.02}{10} \approx 0.9453$$ ### Solution: $$x \approx 0.9453, \quad y \approx -1.919, \quad z \approx 3.51$$ Would you like to see the detailed fractional values, or any specific questions about the method? Here are 5 questions related to this problem: 1. How would the solution change if the second equation was modified? 2. What are the advantages of using the Gauss elimination method over other methods? 3. How does partial pivoting work in Gauss elimination? 4. Can the Gauss elimination method be used for non-square matrices? 5. What if the system of equations has infinitely many solutions? **Tip:** When solving by Gauss elimination, always check for any need for row swapping (pivoting) to avoid division by zero or small pivot elements, which can lead to numerical instability.
