Question

Use either Gaussian elimination or Gauss-Jordan elimination to solve the given system or show that no solution exists. (If there is no solution, enter NO SOLUTION. If the system has an infinite number of solutions, use t for the parameter.) x1 + x2 + x3 = 0 x1 + x2 + 9x3 = 0

Answer 1

Answer:

x1 = t, x2 = -t and x3 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equation

x1 + x2 + x3 = 0 .... 1

x1 + x2 + 9x3 = 0 .... 2

Subtract both equation

x3 - 9x3 = 0

-8x3 = 0

x3 = 0

Substitute x3 = 0 into equation 1

x1 + x2 + 0 = 0

x1+x2 = 0

x1 = -x2

Let t = x1

t = -x2

x2 = -t

Hence x1 = t, x2 = -t and x3 = 0
