Question

Consider the following system of equations.

2x1  +  x2  +  x3  =  b1
x1  −  3x2  +  4x3  =  b2
−x1      +  x3  =  b3
(a) Write the system of equations as a matrix equation.
                 
                 
                 
 
x1
 
x2
x3
 = 
 
b1
 
b2
b3

(b) Solve the system of equations by using the inverse of the coefficient matrix.
(i) where
b1 = 4, b2 = 9, b3 = −5

(x1, x2, x3) = 
 
 
 
 
 



(ii) where

b1 = 3, b2 = −4, b3 = 0
(x1, x2, x3) =
