Math Problem Statement

Matrix all

Solve the system of equations: x + 2y + z = 7, x + 3z = 11, 2x - 3y = 1

Solution

The system of equations from the image is:

1. &\quad x + 2y + z = 7 \\ 2. &\quad x + 3z = 11 \\ 3. &\quad 2x - 3y = 1 \\ \end{aligned}$$ To solve this system using matrices, we'll first express it in matrix form $$AX = B$$, where: $$A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 & 3 \\ 2 & -3 & 0 \end{bmatrix}, \quad X = \begin{bmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{bmatrix}, \quad B = \begin{bmatrix} 7 \\ 11 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix}$$ Now, I will solve this system using matrix methods.The solution to the system of equations is: $$x = 2, \quad y = 1, \quad z = 3$$ Would you like more details on the method used, or do you have any other questions? Here are some related questions to expand on this: 1. How does Gaussian elimination work for solving systems of equations? 2. Can this system of equations be solved graphically? 3. What is the determinant of the matrix $$A$$ and what does it signify? 4. How can matrix inversion be used to solve this system? 5. How do you solve non-linear systems of equations? **Tip:** Always check if the determinant of a matrix is non-zero before attempting to solve a system using the inverse method.
