Give the general solution of the equation Ax = b in standard form.
a = [ 2 1 -1 ] b= [ 3 ]
[ 1 2 1 ] [0 ]
[-1 1 2 ] [-3 ]
system is
augmented matrix is
2 | 1 | -1 | 3 |
1 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
-1 | 1 | 2 | -3 |
convert into Reduced Row Eschelon Form...
Divide row1 by 2
1 | 1/2 | -1/2 | 3/2 |
1 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
-1 | 1 | 2 | -3 |
Add (-1 * row1) to row2
1 | 1/2 | -1/2 | 3/2 |
0 | 3/2 | 3/2 | -3/2 |
-1 | 1 | 2 | -3 |
Add (1 * row1) to row3
1 | 1/2 | -1/2 | 3/2 |
0 | 3/2 | 3/2 | -3/2 |
0 | 3/2 | 3/2 | -3/2 |
Divide row2 by 3/2
1 | 1/2 | -1/2 | 3/2 |
0 | 1 | 1 | -1 |
0 | 3/2 | 3/2 | -3/2 |
Add (-3/2 * row2) to row3
1 | 1/2 | -1/2 | 3/2 |
0 | 1 | 1 | -1 |
0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Add (-1/2 * row2) to row1
1 | 0 | -1 | 2 |
0 | 1 | 1 | -1 |
0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
