## Intermediate 1st Year Maths 1A Matrices Solutions Exercise 3(g)

Examine whether the following systems of equations are consistent or inconsistent and if consistent find the complete solutions.

Question 1.
x + y + z = 4
2x + 5y – 2z = 3
x + 7y – 7z = 5
Solution:

ρ(A) = 2, ρ(AB) = 3
ρ(A) ≠ ρ(AB)
∴ The given system of equations are in consistent.

Question 2.
x + y + z = 6
x – y + z = 2
2x – y + 3z = 9
Solution:

Question 3.
x + y + z = 1
2x + y + z = 2
x + 2y + 2z = 1
Solution:

ρ(A) = 2 = ρ(AB) < 3
The given system of equations are consistent and have infinitely many solutions.
The solutions are given by [(x, y, z) 1x = 1, y + z = 0].

Question 4.
x + y + z = 9
2x + 5y + 7z = 52
2x + y – z = 0
Solution:

∴ ρ(A) = ρ(AB) = 3
The given system of equations are consistent have a unique solution.
∴ Solution is given by x = 1, y = 3, z = 5.

Question 5.
x + y + z = 6
x + 2y + 3z = 10
x + 2y + 4z = 1
Solution:
Augmented matrix A = $$\left[\begin{array}{cccc} 1 & 1 & 1 & 6 \\ 1 & 2 & 3 & 10 \\ 1 & 2 & 4 & 1 \end{array}\right]$$
By R2 → R2 – R1, R3 → R3 – R2, we obtain

∴ ρ(A) = ρ(AB) = 3
The given system of equations are consistent.
They have a unique solution.
∴ Solution is given by x = -7, y = 22, z = -9.

Question 6.
x – 3y – 8z = -10
3x + y – 4z = 0
2x + 5y + 6z = 13
Solution:
The Augmented matrix

ρ(A) = ρ(AB) = 2 < 3
∴ The given system of equations are consistent have infinitely many solutions.
x + y = 2 and y + 2z = 3
Taking z = k, y = 3 – 2z = 3-2k
x = 2 – y
= 2 – (3 – 2k)
= 2 – 3 + 2k
= 2k – 1
∴ The solutions are given by x = -1 + 2k, y = 3 – 2k, z = k where ‘k’ is any scalar.

Question 7.
2x + 3y + z = 9
x + 2y + 3z = 6
3x + y + 2z = 8
Solution:

∴ ρ(A) = ρ(AB) = 3
The given system of equations are consistent have a unique solution.
∴ Solution is given by x = $$\frac{35}{18}$$, y = $$\frac{29}{18}$$, z = $$\frac{5}{18}$$

Question 8.
x + y + 4z = 6
3x + 2y – 2z = 9
5x + y + 2z = 13
Solution:

∴ ρ(A) = ρ(AB) = 3
∴ The given system of equations are consistent have a unique solution.
∴ Solution is given by x = 2, y = 2, z = $$\frac{1}{2}$$
