To calculate: The solution of the system by using the Gaussian elimination method.
The obtained solution is
Given Information:
The matrix is defined as,
Calculation:
Consider the given equations,
Gaussian elimination transforms a system into triangular form. The system is in triangular form if the left side forms a triangle in which the leading coefficients are 1.
The last equation contains only one variable, and each equation above it contains the variables from the equation immediately below it.
Subtract equation 2 from 1 to eliminate x in equation 2 and multiply with negative 1.
Eliminate the x -term in Equation 3. Replace Equation 3 by addition equation 1 and equation 3.
Rewrite the third equation.
Subtract equation 2 from equation 3 for equation 3.
The third equation is a true statement so there are infinitely many solutions. Solving for x and y in terms of z and w , the solution of the system can be express as:
Hence, the obtained result is
