Let's solve the system step by step. Given system: \[ \begin{align*} 3x - 5y + 2z &= 2 \\ 2x - y + 3z &= 3 \\ x + 4y + 7z &= 4 \\ \end{align*} \] --- ### (a) **Augmented Matrix** The augmented matrix is: \[ \left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 3 & -5 & 2 & 2 \\ 2 & -1 & 3 & 3 \\ 1 & 4 & 7 & 4 \\ \end{array} \right] \] --- ### (b) **Inverse of Coefficient Matrix** The coefficient matrix \(A\) is: \[ A = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & -5 & 2 \\ 2 & -1 & 3 \\ 1 & 4 & 7 \\ \end{bmatrix} \] The inverse \(A^{-1}\) can be calculated using the formula \(A^{-1} = \frac{1}{\det(A)} \text{adj}(A)\). Let's calculate the determinant first. --- ### (c) **Determinant of the Coefficient Matrix** \[ \begin{align*} \det(A) &= 3 \begin{vmatrix} -1 & 3 \\ 4 & 7 \end{vmatrix} - (-5) \begin{vmatrix} 2 & 3 \\ 1 & 7 \end{vmatrix} + 2 \begin{vmatrix} 2 & -1 \\ 1 & 4 \end{vmatrix} \\ &= 3((-1)(7) - 3 \cdot 4) + 5((2)(7) - (3)(1)) + 2((2)(4) - (-1)(1)) \\ &= 3(-7 - 12) + 5(14 - 3) + 2(8 + 1) \\ &= 3(-19) + 5(11) + 2(9) \\ &= -57 + 55 + 18 \\ &= 16 \end{align*} \] --- ### (d) **LU-Factorization** Let's perform LU decomposition for \(A\): Let \(A = LU\) where \(L\) is lower triangular and \(U\) is upper triangular. **Step 1:** \(U\) starts as a copy of \(A\). \(L\) starts as identity. #### Row 2: Eliminate below (1,1): Multiplier \(m_{21} = \frac{2}{3}\): Row 2 \(-\) (\(\frac{2}{3}\)) \(\times\) Row 1: \[ \text{Row 2: } [2, -1, 3] - \frac{2}{3} \times [3, -5, 2] = [2 - 2, -1 + \frac{10}{3}, 3 - \frac{4}{3}] = [0, \frac{7}{3}, \frac{5}{3}] \] Update \(L_{21} = \frac{2}{3}\). #### Row 3: Eliminate below (1,1): Multiplier \(m_{31} = \frac{1}{3}\): Row 3 \(-\) (\(\frac{1}{3}\)) \(\times\) Row 1: \[ \text{Row 3: } [1, 4, 7] - \frac{1}{3} \times [3, -5, 2] = [1 - 1, 4 + \frac{5}{3}, 7 - \frac{2}{3}] = [0, \frac{17}{3}, \frac{19}{3}] \] Update \(L_{31} = \frac{1}{3}\). #### Row 3: Eliminate below (2,2): Multiplier \(m_{32} = \frac{17/3}{7/3} = \frac{17}{7}\): Row 3 \(-\) (\(\frac{17}{7}\)) \(\times\) Row 2: \[ \text{Row 3: } \left[0, \frac{17}{3}, \frac{19}{3}\right] - \frac{17}{7} \left[0, \frac{7}{3}, \frac{5}{3}\right] = [0, 0, \frac{19}{3} - \frac{17}{7} \cdot \frac{5}{3}] \] \[ \frac{19}{3} - \frac{17}{7} \cdot \frac{5}{3} = \frac{19}{3} - \frac{85}{21} = \frac{133 - 85}{21} = \frac{48}{21} = \frac{16}{7} \] So, \(U\) becomes: \[ U = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & -5 & 2 \\ 0 & \frac{7}{3} & \frac{5}{3} \\ 0 & 0 & \frac{16}{7} \end{bmatrix} \] \(L = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ \frac{2}{3} & 1 & 0 \\ \frac{1}{3} & \frac{17}{7} & 1 \end{bmatrix}\) --- ### (e) **Solve using Gauss-Jordan Elimination** Let's write the augmented matrix and row reduce: \[ \left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 3 & -5 & 2 & 2 \\ 2 & -1 & 3 & 3 \\ 1 & 4 & 7 & 4 \\ \end{array} \right] \] **R2 = R2 - (2/3)R1:** \[ [0, 7/3, 5/3 | 7/3] \] **R3 = R3 - (1/3)R1:** \[ [0, 17/3, 19/3 | 10/3] \] **R3 = R3 - (17/7)R2:** \[ [0, 0, 16/7 | 1] \] So, back substitute: \(z = \frac{1}{16/7} = \frac{7}{16}\) From row 2: \[ \frac{7}{3}y + \frac{5}{3}z = \frac{7}{3} \implies 7y + 5z = 7 \implies 7y + 5 \cdot \frac{7}{16} = 7 \implies 7y + \frac{35}{16} = 7 \implies 7y = 7 - \frac{35}{16} = \frac{112 - 35}{16} = \frac{77}{16} \implies y = \frac{77}{112} = \frac{11}{16} \] From row 1: \[ 3x - 5y + 2z = 2 \implies 3x - 5 \cdot \frac{11}{16} + 2 \cdot \frac{7}{16} = 2 \implies 3x - \frac{55}{16} + \frac{14}{16} = 2 \implies 3x - \frac{41}{16} = 2 \implies 3x = 2 + \frac{41}{16} = \frac{32 + 41}{16} = \frac{73}{16} \implies x = \frac{73}{48} \] So, \[ \boxed{ x = \frac{73}{48},\quad y = \frac{11}{16},\quad z = \frac{7}{16} } \] --- ### (f) **Use the Inverse Matrix to Solve** Let \(X = A^{-1}B\), where \(B = \begin{bmatrix}2\\3\\4\end{bmatrix}\). You can multiply the inverse matrix (found in part b) by B to get the solution. --- ### (g) **Solve using LU Decomposition** Forward solve \(Ly = B\), then back solve \(Ux = y\). --- ### (h) **Cramer's Rule** \(x_i = \frac{\det(A_i)}{\det(A)}\), where \(A_i\) is A with the i-th column replaced by B. --- **Summary of answers:** - **(a)** Augmented matrix written above. - **(b)** Inverse calculated using formula or with a calculator. - **(c)** Determinant is \(16\). - **(d)** LU-factorization given above. - **(e)** Solution: \(x = \frac{73}{48}\), \(y = \frac{11}{16}\), \(z = \frac{7}{16}\). - **(f)** Use \(X = A^{-1}B\). - **(g)** Use LU to solve. - **(h)** Use Cramer's rule as outlined.

\(C_{11} = (+1) \times M_{11} = -19\) - \(C_{12} = (-1) \times M_{12} = -11\) - \(C_{13} = (+1) \times M_{13} = 9\) - \(C_{21} = (-1)^{3} \times \det \begin{bmatrix} -5 & 2 \\ 4 & 7 \end{bmatrix}\) Calculate minor: \[ (-5)(7) - 2(4) = -35 - 8 = -43 \] Sign: \((-1)^{2+1} = -1\) \[ C_{21} = -1 \times (-43) = 43 \] - \(C_{22} = (+1) \times \det \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 2 \\ 1 & 7 \end{bmatrix}\) \[ 3 \times 7 - 2 \times 1 = 21 - 2 = 19 \] -

\frac{4}{3} = \frac{9}{3} - \frac{4}{3} = \frac{5}{3} \] ### **Calculate \(y_3\):** \[ \frac{1}{3} \times 2 + \frac{17}{7} \times \frac{5}{3} + y_3 = 4 \] Simplify: \[ \frac{2}{3} + \frac{17}{7} \times \frac{5}{3} + y_3 = 4 \] Calculate \(\frac{17}{7} \times \frac{5}{3}\): \[ = \frac{17 \times 5}{7 \times 3} = \frac{85}{21} \] Now sum: \[ \frac{2}{3} + \frac{85}{21} = \frac{14}{21} + \frac{85}{21} = \frac{99}{21} = \frac{33}{7} \] Thus, \[ \frac{33}{7} + y_3 = 4 \Rightarrow y_3 = 4 - \frac{33}{7} = \frac{28}{7} - \frac{33}{7} = -\frac{5}{7} \] --- ### **Solution for \(y\):** \[ \boxed{ y_1 = 2, \quad y_2 = \frac{5}{3}, \quad y_3 = -\frac{5}{7} } \] --- ### **Step 2: Back substitution \(Ux = y\)** Solve for \(x = [x_1, x_2, x_3]^T\): \[ U x = y \] which gives: \[ \begin{cases} 3 x_1 - 5 x_2 + 2 x_3 = 2 \\ \frac{7}{3} x_2 + \frac{5}{3} x_3 = \frac{5}{3} \\ \frac{16}{7} x_3 = -\frac{5}{7} \end{cases} \] --- ### **Solve for \(x_3\):** \[ \frac{16}{7} x_3 = -\frac{5}{7} \Rightarrow x_3 = -\frac{5/7}{16/7} = -\frac{5}{7} \times \frac{7}{16} = -\frac{5}{16} \] ### **Solve for \(x_2\):** \[ \frac{7}{3} x_2 + \frac{5}{3} x_3 = \frac{5}{3} \] Multiply through by 3: \[ 7 x_2 + 5 x_3 = 5 \] Substitute \(x_3 = -\frac{5}{16}\): \[ 7 x_2 + 5 \times \left(-\frac{5}{16}\right) = 5 \] \[ 7 x_2 - \frac{25}{16} = 5 \] Express 5 as \(\frac{80}{16}\): \[ 7 x_2 = \frac{80}{16} + \frac{25}{16} = \frac{105}{16} \] \[ x_2 = \frac{105/16}{7} = \frac{105}{16} \times \frac{1}{7} = \frac{15}{16} \] ### **Solve for \(x_1\):** \[ 3 x_1 - 5 x_2 + 2 x_3 = 2 \] Substitute \(x_2 = \frac{15}{16}\), \(x_3 = -\frac{5}{16}\): \[ 3 x_1 - 5 \times \frac{15}{16} + 2 \times \left(-\frac{5}{16}\right) = 2 \] Calculate: \[ 3 x_1 - \frac{75}{16} - \frac{10}{16} = 2 \] Express RHS as \(\frac{32}{16}\): \[ 3 x_1 = \frac{32}{16} + \frac{75}{16} + \frac{10}{16} = \frac{117}{16} \] \[ x_1 = \frac{117/16}{3} = \frac{117}{16} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{117}{48} = \frac{39}{16} \] --- ### **Final solution from LU method:** \[ \boxed{ x = \frac{39}{16}, \quad y = \frac{15}{16}, \quad z = -\frac{5}{16} } \] --- # Part (h): **Solve using Cramer's Rule** Recall: \[ x_i = \frac{\det(A_i)}{\det(A)} \] where \(A_i\) is matrix \(A\) with \(i\)-th column replaced by \(\mathbf{B}\). --- ### Step 1: \(\det(A) = 16\) (already calculated) --- ### Step 2: Calculate \(\det(A_x)\): Replace first column with \(\mathbf{B}\): \[ A_x = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & -5 & 2 \\ 3 & -1 & 3 \\ 4 & 4 & 7 \end{bmatrix} \] Calculate: \[ \det(A_x) = 2 \begin{vmatrix} -1 & 3 \\ 4 & 7 \end{vmatrix} -
