To solve the given system of equations using matrices, we can represent the system in matrix form as AX = B, where A is the coefficient matrix, X is the variable vector, and B is the constant vector.
First, let's write the coefficient matrix A:
A = | 2 3 1 |
| 2 -3 -3 |
| 4 -2 3 |
Next, let's write the variable vector X:
X = | x |
| y |
| z |
Finally, let's write the constant vector B:
B = | 10 |
| 22 |
| -2 |
Now that we have the matrices A, X, and B, we can solve the system of equations using matrix algebra. To do this, we need to find the inverse of matrix A and multiply it by vector B to solve for vector X.
1. Find the inverse of matrix A:
The inverse of matrix A, denoted as A^(-1), can be found using various methods such as Gaussian elimination or matrix algebra software. Calculating the inverse, we get:
A^(-1) = | 1/9 1/9 1/9 |
| -1/3 -1/3 2/9 |
| 1/3 2/9 -1/9 |
2. Solve for vector X:
Multiply the inverse of matrix A (A^(-1)) by the constant vector B:
X = A^(-1) * B
Calculating the multiplication, we get the values of vector X:
X = | 2 |
| -4 |
| 3 |
Therefore, the solution to the given system of equations is:
x = 2, y = -4, z = 3.
