- 4. Use Gaussian elimination with backward substitution to solve the following linear system: 2x1 + x2 – x3 = 5, x1 + x2 – 3x3 = -9, -x1 + x2 + 2x3 = 9;arrow_forwardConsider the system of linear equations in x and y. ax+by=ecx+dy=f Under what conditions will the system have exactly one solution?arrow_forwardThree components are connected to form a system as shown in the accompanying diagram. Because the components in the 2–3 subsystem are connected in parallel, that subsystem will function if at least one of the two individual components functions. For the entire system to function, component 1 must function and so must the 2–3 subsystem |-------2-------| ---1------>| |----------> |-------3-------| The experiment consists of determining the condition of each component [S(success) for a functioning component and F(failure) for a nonfunctioning component]. a. Which outcomes are contained in the event A that exactly two out of the three components function? b. Which outcomes are contained in the event B that at least two of the components function? c. Which outcomes are contained in the event C that the system functions? d. List outcomes in C', A U C, B U C.arrow_forward
- Is there a real number x such that x = 2-x? Decide by displaying graphically the systemarrow_forward2. Use Gauss elimination with back substitution to solve the system of linear equations: &x, +x2 +4x3 +8x, = 5 x1 - 7x, – 2x, – 7x4 : 1 7x, - 2x2 + 7x3 +2x4 =-5 X1 +x, +2x3 – 6x, = -5 Round-off to 5 significant figures.arrow_forwardWhat relation should the coefficients have so that the system has infinitely many solutions?arrow_forward
- For Exercises 15–22, solve the system by using the addition method. (See Examples 3-4) 15. 2x + 3y = 11 16. 3x + y² = 21 17. x - xy = 20 18. 4xy + 3y² = -9 2 + 4y = 8 4x - 2y = -2 -2x2 + 3xy = -44 2xy + y = -5 21. x = 1- y 9x - 4y? = 36 19. 5x - 2y2 = 1 20. 6x + 5y = 38 7x - 3y = 9 22. 4x = 4 - y? 16y = 144 + 9x? 2x - 3y = -4arrow_forwarda) Determine whether there is a combination of three components satisfying the system. Apply Gaussian elimination procedure. X1 + X2 + X3 = 200,000 0.1X1+0.07X2+0.08X3=16,000 X2 + X3 =3 X1arrow_forwardSolve this questionarrow_forward
