CONSIDER THE SYSTEM OF EQUATIONS.
9X+3Y+Z=10
25X+5Y+Z=36
4X-2Y+Z=15
a) REWRITE THIS SYSTEM AS A MATRIX EQUATION.
------------
Assuming you have a calculator, enter the
coefficients of the variables into a 3 x 3
matrix called "A".
---------
Enter the constants into a 3x1 column matrix
called "B".
------------
Call A to your homescreen and hit the "invert"
button.
Call B to your homescreen to the right of A^-1
------------
Multiply A^-1 B to get the solution 3/1 column
matrix.
I get: X=6, Y=-35, Z=61
---------------
