To reduce: the augmented matrix corresponding to the system of equations and solve the system by using matrix capabilities of a graphing utility.
Answer to Problem 97RE
The solution of the system of equations is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Given system of equations
Calculation:
The augmented matrix corresponding to this system of linear equation is
Now, using the matrix capabilities of graphing utility, we can reduce augmented matrix of
Press
Now enter the elements of matrix.
1, 2, 3 columns are shown below:
4th column is shown below:
The echelon form is
Converting decimals to rationals, we get
Now we write down corresponding triangular system
By back substitution we have
and
Therefore the solution of the system of equations is
