SOLUTION
Solving a Homogeneous System of Linear Equations
Solve the system of linear equations.
x₁ - x₂ + 3x₂ = 0
2x₁ + x₂ + 3x3 = 0
Applying Gauss-Jordan elimination to the augmented matrix
01

1 3
yields the matrix shown below.

The system of equations corresponding to this matrix is
X₁
Using the parameter 1 = x3, the solution set is
x₁ = -21, x₂ = 1₁
x3 = 1,t is any real number.
This system of equations has an infinite number of solutions, one of which is the trivial
solution (given by t = 0).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fb39ec2d0-e884-4a3b-8462-fc37a0c6c2b4%2Fcbd16555-b1ba-424b-a8a1-51bd3b7ed4b5%2Fyub22l5_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
