Question : 24
Total: 29
Using matrices, solve the following system of equations:
2x – 3y + 5 = 11
3x + 2y – 4z = -5
x + y – 2z= -3
2x – 3y + 5 = 11
3x + 2y – 4z = -5
x + y – 2z= -3
Solution:
2x – 3y + 5 = 11
3x + 2y – 4z = -5
x + y – 2z= -3
System of equations can be written as AX = B
Where, A =[
]
X =[
] , B = [
]
A =[
]
|A| = 2(- 4 + 4) + 3 ( - 6 + 4) + 5 (3 - 2)
|A| = - 6 + 5 = - 1 ≠ 0
∴A − 1 exists and system of equations has a unique solution
A − 1 =
(adj A)
adj A =[
]
A − 1 =
[
]
=[
]
X =A − 1 B = [
] [
]
X =[
] = [
]
So x = 1 , y = 2 , z = 3
3x + 2y – 4z = -5
x + y – 2z= -3
System of equations can be written as AX = B

X =
A =
|A| = 2(- 4 + 4) + 3 ( - 6 + 4) + 5 (3 - 2)
|A| = - 6 + 5 = - 1 ≠ 0
∴
adj A =
=
X =
X =
So x = 1 , y = 2 , z = 3
