Hi, Previously Posted
Solved by pluggable solver: Using Cramer's Rule to Solve Systems with 3 variables



system%281%2Ax%2B1%2Ay%2B1%2Az=12%2C1%2Ax%2B-1%2Ay%2B0%2Az=2%2C1%2Ax%2B0%2Ay%2B-1%2Az=4%29



First let A=%28matrix%283%2C3%2C1%2C1%2C1%2C1%2C-1%2C0%2C1%2C0%2C-1%29%29. This is the matrix formed by the coefficients of the given system of equations.


Take note that the right hand values of the system are 12, 2, and 4 and they are highlighted here:




These values are important as they will be used to replace the columns of the matrix A.




Now let's calculate the the determinant of the matrix A to get abs%28A%29=3. To save space, I'm not showing the calculations for the determinant. However, if you need help with calculating the determinant of the matrix A, check out this solver.



Notation note: abs%28A%29 denotes the determinant of the matrix A.



---------------------------------------------------------



Now replace the first column of A (that corresponds to the variable 'x') with the values that form the right hand side of the system of equations. We will denote this new matrix A%5Bx%5D (since we're replacing the 'x' column so to speak).






Now compute the determinant of A%5Bx%5D to get abs%28A%5Bx%5D%29=18. Again, as a space saver, I didn't include the calculations of the determinant. Check out this solver to see how to find this determinant.



To find the first solution, simply divide the determinant of A%5Bx%5D by the determinant of A to get: x=%28abs%28A%5Bx%5D%29%29%2F%28abs%28A%29%29=%2818%29%2F%283%29=6



So the first solution is x=6




---------------------------------------------------------


We'll follow the same basic idea to find the other two solutions. Let's reset by letting A=%28matrix%283%2C3%2C1%2C1%2C1%2C1%2C-1%2C0%2C1%2C0%2C-1%29%29 again (this is the coefficient matrix).




Now replace the second column of A (that corresponds to the variable 'y') with the values that form the right hand side of the system of equations. We will denote this new matrix A%5By%5D (since we're replacing the 'y' column in a way).






Now compute the determinant of A%5By%5D to get abs%28A%5By%5D%29=12.



To find the second solution, divide the determinant of A%5By%5D by the determinant of A to get: y=%28abs%28A%5By%5D%29%29%2F%28abs%28A%29%29=%2812%29%2F%283%29=4



So the second solution is y=4




---------------------------------------------------------





Let's reset again by letting A=%28matrix%283%2C3%2C1%2C1%2C1%2C1%2C-1%2C0%2C1%2C0%2C-1%29%29 which is the coefficient matrix.



Replace the third column of A (that corresponds to the variable 'z') with the values that form the right hand side of the system of equations. We will denote this new matrix A%5Bz%5D






Now compute the determinant of A%5Bz%5D to get abs%28A%5Bz%5D%29=6.



To find the third solution, divide the determinant of A%5Bz%5D by the determinant of A to get: z=%28abs%28A%5Bz%5D%29%29%2F%28abs%28A%29%29=%286%29%2F%283%29=2



So the third solution is z=2




====================================================================================

Final Answer:




So the three solutions are x=6, y=4, and z=2 giving the ordered triple (6, 4, 2)




Note: there is a lot of work that is hidden in finding the determinants. Take a look at this 3x3 Determinant Solver to see how to get each determinant.

We'll follow the same basic idea to find the other two solutions. Let's reset by letting A=%28matrix%283%2C3%2C1%2C1%2C1%2C1%2C-1%2C0%2C1%2C0%2C-1%29%29 again (this is the coefficient matrix).




Now replace the second column of A (that corresponds to the variable 'y') with the values that form the right hand side of the system of equations. We will denote this new matrix A%5By%5D (since we're replacing the 'y' column in a way).






Now compute the determinant of A%5By%5D to get abs%28A%5By%5D%29=12.



To find the second solution, divide the determinant of A%5By%5D by the determinant of A to get: y=%28abs%28A%5By%5D%29%29%2F%28abs%28A%29%29=%2812%29%2F%283%29=4



So the second solution is y=4




---------------------------------------------------------





Let's reset again by letting A=%28matrix%283%2C3%2C1%2C1%2C1%2C1%2C-1%2C0%2C1%2C0%2C-1%29%29 which is the coefficient matrix.



Replace the third column of A (that corresponds to the variable 'z') with the values that form the right hand side of the system of equations. We will denote this new matrix A%5Bz%5D






Now compute the determinant of A%5Bz%5D to get abs%28A%5Bz%5D%29=6.



To find the third solution, divide the determinant of A%5Bz%5D by the determinant of A to get: z=%28abs%28A%5Bz%5D%29%29%2F%28abs%28A%29%29=%286%29%2F%283%29=2



So the third solution is z=2




====================================================================================

Final Answer:




So the three solutions are x=6, y=4, and z=2 giving the ordered triple (6, 4, 2)




Note: there is a lot of work that is hidden in finding the determinants. Take a look at this 3x3 Determinant Solver to see how to get each determinant.

Hi,
find the length of the sides of tiangle whose vertices are
(1,4),
(-4,0) D = sqrt(4^2 + 5^2) = sqrt(41)
(3,-3 D = sqrt(3^2 + -7^2) = sqrt(58) longest side C
(1,4), D = sqrt(-7^2 + 2^2) = sqrt(53)
41 + 53 = 94 > 58
If A, B and C are the sides of a triangle where C is the longest side, then we can say the following
i) If A^2+B^2 = C^2 is true, then we have a right triangle
ii) If A^2+B^2 > C^2 is the case, then we have an acute triangle.*****
iii) If A^2+B^2 < C^2, then we have an obtuse triangle.
