Solve the Flowing homogeneous system of linear equation by Gauss-Jordan elimination

2x – y – 3z = 0

-x +2y – 3z = 0

x + y + 4z = 0

Solution: -

The given system is

2x – y – 3z = 0

-x +2y – 3z = 0 System (1)

x + y + 4z = 0

Let us represent the three linear equation of the system (1) by L1, L2, and L3 respectively. Reduce the system to echelon form by elementary operation.

Apply L1ßà L2

x + y + 4z = 0

-x +2y – 3z = 0 System (2)

2x – y – 3z = 0

Apply L2 à L2 +L1 and L3à L3 – 2L1

Thus we obtain the equivalent system is

x + y + 4z = 0

3y + z = 0 System (3)

–3 y – 11z = 0

Now apply L3à L3 + L2

Thus we obtain the equivalent system is

x + y + 4z = 0

3y + z = 0 System (4)

10z = 0

System (4) which is the echelon form of the given system (1). It has three equations with three variables. So the system has only tribal solution. The solution of the given system is

(x,y,z) = (0,0,0)

Definition of Linear Equation

By itsRashad
Any straight line in the XY plane can be represented algebraically by an equation of the form a 1 x 1 + a 2 x 2 + - - - - - - + a n x n = b ----------------------- (1) Where a 1, a 2 - - - - - - a n and b are real constants. An equation of this form is called Linear Equation in the variables x 1 , x 2 - - - - - - x n . The variables in a linear equation are sometimes called Unknown.

System of Linear Equation

By itsRashad
A finite set of equation with the variables x 1 , x 2 - - - - -x n is called a System of Linear Equation. a 1 x 1 + a 2 x 2 + - - - - - - + a n x n = b ----------------------- (1) Where a 1, a 2 - - - - - - a n and b are real constants. An equation of this form is called Linear Equation in the variables x 1 , x 2 - - - - - - x n . The variables in a linear equation are sometimes called Unknown. And there are two types of linear equation such as Homogeneous Linear Equation and Non-homogeneous Linear Equation. If b = 0 then (1) is called Homogeneous Linear Equation and if b is not equal 0 the (1) is called Non-homogeneous Linear Equation.

We may assume that the order (rule) of the equations and the order (rule) of the unknowns in each equation such that a 11 is not equal 0. The variables x 1 can then be eliminated from the second, third ………………..mth equations by subtracting. a 21 /a 11 times the first equation from the second equation a 31 /a 11 times the first equation from the third equation .. ...
