Question 201958: Help Needed;
Perform row operations on the augmented matrix as far as necessary to determine whether the system is independent, dependent, or inconsistent.
-x - y - z = 10
x + y + z = -6
x + y - z = 2
A) Inconsistent
B) Dependent
C) Independent
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Perform row operations on the augmented matrix as far as necessary to determine whether the system is independent, dependent, or inconsistent.
-x - y - z = 10
x + y + z = -6
x + y - z = 2
A) Inconsistent
B) Dependent
C) Independent
------------
they're inconsistent since -1 times the first gives x+y+z=-10, and the 2nd says it's =6.
I determined that by inspection, so it wasn't necessary to do any row operations.
