Solve the system of linear equations, using the Gauss-Jordan elimination method. \(\begin{aligned} 3 x-2 y &=-3 \\ 2 x+y &=3 \\ x-2 y &=-5 \end{aligned}\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The unique solution for the given system of linear equations is \(x = \frac{26}{5}\) and \(y = \frac{13}{5}\).

Step by step solution

01

Write the augmented matrix of the system

Write the given system of linear equations as an augmented matrix. The augmented matrix is a 3x3 matrix, where the first two columns represent the coefficients of x and y, and the third column represents the constant terms from the equations. \[ \left[\begin{array}{cc|c} 3 & -2 & -3\\ 2 & 1 & 3\\ 1 & -2 & -5 \end{array} \right] \]
02

Perform row operations to reach RREF

Next, perform the row operations to transform the matrix into its reduced row echelon form. This includes using row swaps, row multiplication, and row addition operations. We will focus on three steps: making a leading 1 or pivot in each row, eliminating all non-zero elements below each pivot, and then eliminating non-zero elements above each pivot. 1. Swap row 1 and row 3 so that the first row has a leading 1: \[ \left[\begin{array}{cc|c} 1 & -2 & -5\\ 2 & 1 & 3\\ 3 & -2 & -3 \end{array} \right] \] 2. Eliminate all non-zero elements below the first pivot: - Subtract 2 times row 1 from row 2: \[ \left[\begin{array}{cc|c} 1 & -2 & -5\\ 0 & 5 & 13\\ 3 & -2 & -3 \end{array} \right] \] - Subtract 3 times row 1 from row 3: \[ \left[\begin{array}{cc|c} 1 & -2 & -5\\ 0 & 5 & 13\\ 0 & 4 & 12 \end{array} \right] \] 3. Create a leading 1 (pivot) in row 2 by dividing it by 5: \[ \left[\begin{array}{cc|c} 1 & -2 & -5\\ 0 & 1 & \frac{13}{5}\\ 0 & 4 & 12 \end{array} \right] \] 4. Eliminate all non-zero elements below the second pivot: - Subtract 4 times row 2 from row 3: \[ \left[\begin{array}{cc|c} 1 & -2 & -5\\ 0 & 1 & \frac{13}{5}\\ 0 & 0 & -\frac{4}{5} \end{array} \right] \] 5. Create a leading 1 (pivot) in row 3 by multiplying it by -5/4: \[ \left[\begin{array}{cc|c} 1 & -2 & -5\\ 0 & 1 & \frac{13}{5}\\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{array} \right] \] 6. Eliminate all non-zero elements above the third pivot: - Add 5 times row 3 to row 1: \[ \left[\begin{array}{cc|c} 1 & -2 & 0\\ 0 & 1 & \frac{13}{5}\\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{array} \right] \] 7. Eliminate all non-zero elements above the second pivot: - Add 2 times row 2 to row 1: \[ \left[\begin{array}{cc|c} 1 & 0 & \frac{26}{5}\\ 0 & 1 & \frac{13}{5}\\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{array} \right] \] Now, the matrix is in reduced row echelon form.
03

Convert RREF matrix back to a system of linear equations

Finally, convert the reduced row echelon form matrix back into a system of linear equations to find the solution: \(\begin{aligned} x &= \frac{26}{5} \\ y &=\frac{13}{5}\\ 1&=1 \end{aligned}\) Since the last equation (1 = 1) is an identity, it means the system has a unique solution: \(\begin{aligned} x &= \frac{26}{5} \\ y &=\frac{13}{5} \end{aligned}\)

William's and Michael's stock holdings are given by the matrix C GI (B) 1 \(A=\begin{array}{l}\text { William } \\ \text { Michael }\end{array}\left[\begin{array}{lllr}200 & 300 & 100 & 200 \\ 100 & 200 & 400 & 0\end{array}\right]\) At the close of trading on a certain day, the prices (in dollars per share) of the stocks are given by the matrix $$ \begin{array}{c} \mathrm{BAC} \\ B=\mathrm{GM} & 54 \\ \mathrm{IBM} & 48 \\ \mathrm{TRW} & 98 \\ 82 \end{array} $$ a. Find \(A B\) b. Explain the meaning of the entries in the matrix \(A B\).

Let $$ A=\left[\begin{array}{ll} 3 & 0 \\ 8 & 0 \end{array}\right] \text { and } B=\left[\begin{array}{ll} 0 & 0 \\ 4 & 5 \end{array}\right] $$ Show that \(A B=0\), thereby demonstrating that for matrix multiplication the equation \(A B=0\) does not imply that one or both of the matrices \(A\) and \(B\) must be the zero matrix.

\(e\) $$ A=\left[\begin{array}{rr} 2 & 2 \\ -2 & -2 \end{array}\right] $$ Show that \(A^{2}=0\). Compare this with the equation \(a^{2}=0\), where \(a\) is a real number.

A private investment club has a certain amount of money earmarked for investment in stocks. To arrive at an acceptable overall level of risk, the stocks that management is considering have been classified into three categories: high risk, medium risk, and low risk. Management estimates that high-risk stocks will have a rate of return of \(15 \% /\) year; medium-risk stocks, \(10 \% /\) year; and low-risk stocks, \(6 \%\) /year. The members have decided that the investment in low-risk stocks should be equal to the sum of the investments in the stocks of the other two categories. Determine how much the club should invest in each type of stock in each of the following scenarios. (In all cases, assume that the entire sum available for investment is invested.) a. The club has \(\$ 200,000\) to invest, and the investment goal is to have a return of \(\$ 20,000 /\) year on the total investment. b. The club has \(\$ 220,000\) to invest, and the investment goal is to have a return of \(\$ 22,000 /\) year on the total investment. c. The club has \(\$ 240,000\) to invest, and the investment goal is to have a return of \(\$ 22,000 /\) year on the total investment.
