For each of the following systems of linear equations |
(i) | rewrite as a matrix equation |
(ii) | identify the coefficient matrix, the matrix of constants, and the augmented matrix |
(iii) | use elementary operations to reduce the augmented matrix to either row echelon form, or reduced row echelon form |
(iv) | write the solution, if any, of the system of linear equations |
x | + | 3y | - | 2z | = | 8 |
3y | - | 5z | = | 11 | ||
2x | + | 5y | - | 8z | = | 19 |
-3x | + | 6y | + | 16z | = | 36 |
x | - | 2y | - | 5z | = | -11 |
2x | - | 3y | - | 8z | = | 15 |
3x | + | 2y | - | z | = | 4 |
2x | + | 5y | + | z | = | 10 |
4x | + | 9y | - | z | = | -21 |
x | + | 2y | - | 3z | = | -5 | ||
2x | + | 4y | - | 6z | + | w | = | -8 |
6x | + | 13y | - | 17z | + | 4w | = | -21 |
x | + | 2y | - | 3w | = | 4 | ||
2x | + | 4y | + | z | - | 6w | = | -8 |
3x | + | 6y | - | 2z | - | 2w | = | 12 |
x1 | - | 3x3 | - | x5 | = | 1 | ||||
x2 | - | 2x3 | - | x4 | = | -2 | ||||
x1 | + | x2 | - | 5x3 | - | x4 | - | x5 | = | -1 |
2x1 | - | 3x2 | + | 2x4 | = | 4 |
