Answer:

The correct option is (A)

A. Replace row 4 by its sum with - 4 times row 3.

\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}1&-4&4&0&-2\\0&2&-6&0&5\\0&0&1&2&-4\\0&0&0&-3&15\end{array}\right]

w = 8

x = 17/2

y = 6

z = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

The given matrix is

\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}1&-4&4&0&-2\\0&2&-6&0&5\\0&0&1&2&-4\\0&0&4&5&-1\end{array}\right]

To solve this matrix we need to create a zero at the 4th row and 3rd column which is 4 at the moment.

Multiply 3rd row by -4 and add it to the 4th row.

Mathematically,

R_4 = R_4 - 4R_3

So the correct option is (A)

A. Replace row 4 by its sum with - 4 times row 3.

So the matrix becomes,

\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}1&-4&4&0&-2\\0&2&-6&0&5\\0&0&1&2&-4\\0&0&0&-3&15\end{array}\right]

Now the matrix may be solved by back substitution method.

Bonus:

The solution is given by

Eq. 1

-3z = 15

z = -15/3

z = -5

Eq. 2

y + 2z = -4

y + 2(-5) = -4

y - 10 = -4

y = -4 + 10

y = 6

Eq. 3

2x - 6y + 0z = 5

2x - 6(6) = 5

2x - 12 = 5

2x = 12 + 5

2x = 17

x = 17/2

Eq. 4

w - 4x + 4y + 0z = -2

w - 4(17/2) + 4(6) = -2

w - 34 + 24 = -2

w - 10 = -2

w = -2 + 10

w = 8

Why is division by zero not allowed? Explain using your knowledge of how division is related to subtraction.
vivado [14]

Division by zero is an operation for which you cannot find an answer, so it is disallowed. You can understand why if you think about how division and multiplication are related. But no value would work for x because 0 times any number is 0. So division by zero doesn't work.
