Question
How many solutions does the following system have? Enter 1 if there is only one solution, 0 if there are no solutions and -1 if there are infinitely many solutions. The coefficient matrix 𝐴A and the vector 𝑏b are given below:𝐴=[10−111−121−2],𝑏=[134]A= 112 011 −1−1−2 ,b= 134
Solution
To determine the number of solutions for the system of equations, we first need to form the augmented matrix [A|b]. The augmented matrix is:
[10 -1 | 1]
[11 -1 | 3]
[1 -2 | 4]
Next, we perform Gaussian elimination or Gauss-Jordan elimination to bring the matrix to row-echelon form or reduced row-echelon form.
Subtract the first row from the second row and the first row from the third row:
[10 -1 | 1]
[ 1 0 | 2]
[-9 -1 | 3]
Next, multiply the first row by 9 and add it to the third row:
[10 -1 | 1]
[ 1 0 | 2]
[ 0 -10| 12]
Finally, divide the third row by -10:
[10 -1 | 1]
[ 1 0 | 2]
[ 0 1 | -1.2]
The system of equations now corresponds to:
10x - y = 1
x = 2
y = -1.2
Substitute x = 2 into the first equation:
10*2 - y = 1
20 - y = 1
y = 19
But from the third equation, we have y = -1.2. This is a contradiction, so the system of equations has no solution. Therefore, the answer is 0.
