Consider the following System of equations:
3π₯ + 2π¦ + π§ = 3
2π₯ + π¦ + π§ = 0
6π₯ + 2π¦ + 4π§ = 6
a. Apply Gaussian elimination method to reduce the system to triangular form.
b. What do you observe from your answer in part (a) above?
a.
Augmented matrix is
"R_1=R_1\/3"
"R_2=R_2-2R_1"
"R_3=R_3-6R_1"
"R_2=-3R_2"
"R_1=R_1-2R_2\/3"
"R_3=R_3+2R_2"
"R_3=R_3\/12"
"R_1=R_1+3R_3"
"R_2=R_2-6R_3"
b. The system is inconsistent. The given system has no solution.
