Short Answer

In Exercises 1 through 12, find all solutions of the equations with paper and pencil using Gauss–Jordan elimination. Show all your work.

|x1-7x2+x5=3x3-2x5=2x4+x5=1|

For the given system of equation x5,x5.are free variables and

x3=2+2x5,x4=1-x5,=3+7x2-x5.

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Write the augmented matrix

First of all we will make the augmented matrix to the corresponding system of equations.

x1-7x2+x5=3x3-2x5=2x4+x5=1

The corresponding augmented matrix is written as:

1-70010010-200011321

Step 2: Solving the Augmented matrix

The above augmented matrix obtained above is already in reduced form, then the

System of equation to the corresponding above matrix will be

x1=3+7x2-x5x3=2+2x5x4=1-x5

Step 3: Finding free variables

According to system x1=3+7x2-x5x3=2+2x5x4=1-x5, the variables x3,x4,x1 depend on x2,x5. So, x2,x5.are free variables.

Step 4: Final answer

Thus, for the given system of equation x2,x5 are free variables and x3=2+2x5,x4 =1-x5x1 =3+7x2-x5.
