Solve the following system of linear simultaneous equations by Gauss-Jordan method :
2x + y + 6z = 98x + 3y + 2z = 13
x + 5y + z = 7
To solve the system of linear simultaneous equations using the Gauss-Jordan method, we'll first represent the equations in an augmented matrix form and then perform row operations to transform it into reduced row-echelon form. Here are the steps:
The original system of equations:
2x+y+6z=9
8x+3y+2z=13
x+5y+z=7
Now, let's represent these equations in an augmented matrix [A|B]:
[216∣9832∣13151∣7]⎣⎡281135621∣∣∣9137⎦⎤
Step 1: Perform row operations to create zeros below the first element in the first column (i.e., make the first column entries below A[1,1] equal to zero):
Divide Row 1 by 2 to make the leading coefficient 1:
[10.53∣4.5832∣13151∣7]⎣⎡1810.535321∣∣∣4.5137⎦⎤
Subtract Row 1 from Row 2 and Row 3 to create zeros below A[1,1]:
[10.53∣4.50−1−22∣−3104.5−2∣2.5]⎣⎡1000.5−14.53−22−2∣∣∣4.5−312.5⎦⎤
Step 2: Perform row operations to create a 1 in the second row and second column (i.e., make A[2,2] equal to 1):
Multiply Row 2 by -1 to make A[2,2] equal to 1:
[10.53∣4.50122∣3104.5−2∣2.5]⎣⎡1000.514.5322−2∣∣∣4.5312.5⎦⎤
Subtract 4.5 times Row 2 from Row 3 to create a zero below A[2,2]:
[10.53∣4.50122∣3100−101∣−140.5]⎣⎡1000.510322−101∣∣∣4.531−140.5⎦⎤
Step 3: Perform row operations to create zeros above and below A[3,3] (i.e., make A[3,3] equal to 1):
Multiply Row 3 by -1/101 to make A[3,3] equal to 1:
[10.53∣4.50122∣31001∣1.39]⎣⎡1000.5103221∣∣∣4.5311.39⎦⎤
Subtract 3 times Row 3 from Row 1 and 22 times Row 3 from Row 2 to create zeros above and below A[3,3]:
[10.50∣0.78010∣29.22001∣1.39]⎣⎡1000.510001∣∣∣0.7829.221.39⎦⎤
Step 4: Perform row operations to create zeros above and below A[1,2]:
Subtract 0.5 times Row 2 from Row 1 to create a zero above A[1,2]:
[100∣0.78010∣29.22001∣1.39]⎣⎡100010001∣∣∣0.7829.221.39⎦⎤
Step 5: Perform row operations to create zeros above and below A[2,1]:
Subtract 0.5 times Row 1 from Row 2 to create a zero above A[2,1]:
[100∣0.78010∣29.22001∣1.39]⎣⎡100010001∣∣∣0.7829.221.39⎦⎤
Now, the augmented matrix is in the reduced row-echelon form. We can read the solutions directly:
From the last row, we have =1.39z=1.39.
From the second row, we have =29.22y=29.22.
From the first row, we have =0.78x=0.78.
So, the solution to the system of equations is =0.78x=0.78, =29.22y=29.22, and =1.39z=1.39.
