Math Problem Statement

Solve by Cramer's rule:

2x-y + z=-1, x-2y + 3z = 4, 4x + y +2z = 4, solve this question without extra explaination

Solution

The solution to the system of equations using Cramer's rule is:

x=1,y=2,z=3x = -1, \quad y = 2, \quad z = 3

  2. What are the limitations of using Cramer's rule in solving systems of equations?
  3. Can Cramer's rule be used for a system with infinite solutions?
  4. How can determinants help in understanding the properties of linear systems?
  5. What happens if the determinant of the coefficient matrix is zero?

Tip: Always check the determinant of the coefficient matrix before applying Cramer's rule—if it's zero, the system has no unique solution.
