Fantom [35]2 years ago

4 0

Answer:

5, 7, 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the information given we get:

$5x-7=2z$

$x+2=y\\y+2=z\\x+4=z$

$5x-7=2(x+4)\\5x-7=2x+8\\$

Add 7 to both sides

$5x=2x+15$

Subtract 2x from both sides

$3x=15$

Divide both sides by 3

$x=5$

Using these equations:

$x+2=y\\y+2=z\\x+4=z$

and

$x=5$

We get:

$x=5\\y=7\\z=9$

The system of equations may have a unique solution, an infinite number of solutions, or no solution. Use matrices to find the ge

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Infinite number of solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given system of equations

$5x+4y+5z=-1$

$x+y+2z=1$

$2x+y-z=-3$

Firs we find determinant of system of equations

Let a matrix A= $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5&4&5\\1&1&2\\2&1&-1\end{array}\right]$ and B= $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-1\\1\\-3\end{array}\right]$

$\mid A\mid=\begin{vmatrix}5&4&5\\1&1&2\\2&1&-1\end{vmatrix}$

$\mid A\mid=5(-1-2)-4(-1-4)+5(1-2)=-15+20-5=0$

Determinant of given system of equation is zero therefore, the general solution of system of equation is many solution or no solution.

We are finding rank of matrix

Apply $R_1\rightarrow R_1-4R_2$ and $R_3\rightarrow R_3-2R_2$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&1\\1&1&2\\0&-1&-3\end{array}\right]$ : $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-5\\1\\-5\end{array}\right]$

Apply $R_2\rightarrow R_2-R_1$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&1\\0&1&1\\0&-1&-3\end{array}\right]$ : $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-5\\6\\-5\end{array}\right]$

Apply $R_3\rightarrow R_3+R_2$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&1\\0&1&1\\0&0&-2\end{array}\right]$ : $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-5\\6\\1\end{array}\right]$

Apply $R_3\rightarrow- \frac{1}{2}$ and $R_2\rightarrow R_2-R_3$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&1\\0&1&0\\0&0&1\end{array}\right]$ : $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-5\\\frac{13}{2}\\-\frac{1}{2}\end{array}\right]$

Apply $R_1\rightarrow R_1-R_3$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&0\\0&1&0\\0&0&1\end{array}\right]$ : $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-\frac{9}{2}\\\frac{13}{2}\\-\frac{1}{2}\end{array}\right]$

Rank of matrix A and B are equal.Therefore, matrix A has infinite number of solutions.

Therefore, rank of matrix is equal to rank of B.
