Chapter4 Prob8

The document outlines the solution to a system of equations using the Gauss–Jordan method. It details the steps of forming an augmented matrix, normalizing rows, and eliminating entries to find the values of x1, x2, and x3. The final solution is x1 = 3, x2 = -2, and x3 = 4.

Solution

4 5 –2 –6
First, form the augmented matrix, including the right hand side column vector: 2 – 5 2 24 .
6 2 4 30
Step 1: The pivot element is a 11 = 4 . Normalize the first row by dividing it by 4:
1 1.25 – 0.5 – 1.5
2 – 5 2 24
6 2 4 30
Use the first (pivot) row to eliminate the entries below the pivot element:
1 1.25 – 0.5 – 1.5 1 1.25 – 0.5 – 1.5
2 – 5 2 24 ← – 2 1 1.25 – 0.5 – 1.5 = 0 – 7.5 3 27
6 2 4 30 ← – 6 1 1.25 – 0.5 – 1.5 0 – 5.5 7 39

Step 2: Normalize the second row by dividing it by -7.5:


1 1.25 – 0.5 – 1.5
0 1 – 0.4 – 3.6
0 – 5.5 7 39
The pivot element a 22 is now 1. Use the second (pivot) row to eliminate the entries above and below the
pivot element:
1 1.25 – 0.5 – 1.5 ← – ( 1.25 ) 0 1 – 0.4 – 3.6 1 0 0 3
0 1 – 0.4 – 3.6 = 0 1 – 0.4 – 3.6
0 – 5.5 7 39 ← – ( – 5.5 ) 0 1 – 0.4 – 3.6 0 0 4.8 19.2
Step 3: Normalize the third row by dividing it by 4.8:

0 1 – 0.4 – 3.6
0 0 1 4
The pivot element a 33 is now 1. Use the third (pivot) row to eliminate the entries above the pivot element:
1 0 0 3 ← –( 0 ) 0 0 1 4 1 0 0 3
0 1 – 0.4 – 3.6 ← – ( – 0.4 ) 0 0 1 4 = 0 1 0 –2
0 0 1 4 0 0 1 4

Thus, the solution is x2 = –2
x3 4
