| Question 1043156:  (1) Write the following sets of linear equation in augumented matrix form and solve for x1, x2, and x3 using Gauss Jordan Elimination method:
 (a) 2X1 + X2 - X3 = 8
 -3X1 - X2 + 2X3= -11
 -2X1 + X2 + 2X3= -3
 (b) 3X1 - X2 + 5X3 =-2
 2X1 + 4X2 - X3 =3
 -4X1 + X2 + 7X3 =10
 (2) Using elementary row operations investigate the consistency of the following systems.
 (a) 2X1 + 4X2 - 2X3 = 0
 3X1 + 5X2 =1
 (b)  X1 - X2 + 2X3 =4
 X1 + X3 = 6
 2X1 - 3X2 + 5X3 =4
 3X1 + 2X2 - X3 =1
 (3) consider the system
 X1 + 2X2 + 3X3 = a
 2X1 + 5X2 + (a+5)X3 = -2+2a
 - X2  + (a^2 - a)X3 = a^2 - a
 find the values of a for which the system has
 (a) No solution (b) exactly one solution (c) Infinitely many solutions.
 thank you.

Your matrix
№	X1	X2	X3	b
1	2	1	-1	8
2	-3	-1	2	-11
3	-2	1	2	3
Make the pivot in the 1st column by dividing the 1st row by 2
№	X1	X2	X3	b
1	1	1/2	-1/2	4
2	-3	-1	2	-11
3	-2	1	2	3
Eliminate the 1st column
№	X1	X2	X3	b
1	1	1/2	-1/2	4
2	0	1/2	1/2	1
3	0	2	1	11
Make the pivot in the 2nd column by dividing the 2nd row by 1/2
№	X1	X2	X3	b
1	1	1/2	-1/2	4
2	0	1	1	2
3	0	2	1	11
Eliminate the 2nd column
№	X1	X2	X3	b
1	1	0	-1	3
2	0	1	1	2
3	0	0	-1	7
Find the pivot in the 3rd column in the 3rd row (inversing the sign in the whole row)
№	X1	X2	X3	b
1	1	0	-1	3
2	0	1	1	2
3	0	0	1	-7
Eliminate the 3rd column
№	X1	X2	X3	b
1	1	0	0	-4
2	0	1	0	9
3	0	0	1	-7
Solution set:
x1 = -4
x2 = 9
x3 = -7
