Use Cramer鈥檚 Rule to Solve Systems of Equations In the following exercises, solve each system of equations using Cramer鈥檚 Rule.
$\{\begin{array}{l} x - 2 y + 3 z = 1 \\ x + y - 3 z = 7 \\ 3 x - 4 y + 5 z = 7 \end{array}$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The system is consistent and dependent and it has infinitely many solutions.

Step by step solution

Given system of equations are,

$\{\begin{cases} x - 2 y + 3 z = 1 \\ x + y - 3 z = 7 \\ 3 x - 4 y + 5 z = 7 \end{cases}$

To find:

We need to find the solution for the given system of equations by using Cramer's rule.

Step 3 First find the determinant D by using the coefficients of the variables.

$D = |\begin{matrix} 1 & - 2 & 3 \\ 1 & 1 & - 3 \\ 3 & - 4 & 5 \end{matrix}| D = 1 (5 - 12) + 2 (5 + 9) + 3 (- 4 - 3) = 1 (- 7) + 2 (14) + 3 (- 7) = - 7 + 28 - 21 = 0$

Here we cannot use Cramer's rule. But by looking at the value of the determinants $D_{x}, D_{y}, D_{z}$ . Now we can determine whether the system is dependent or inconsistent.

Step 4 Evaluate the determinant Dx, use the constants to replace the coefficients of x.

$D_{x} = |\begin{matrix} 1 & - 2 & 3 \\ 7 & 1 & - 3 \\ 7 & - 4 & 5 \end{matrix}| = 1 (5 - 12) + 2 (35 + 21) + 3 (- 28 - 7) = 1 (- 7) + 2 (56) + 3 (- 35) = - 7 + 112 - 105 = 0$

Step 5 Now evaluate the determinant Dy, use the constants to replace the coefficients of y.

$D_{y} = |\begin{matrix} 1 & 1 & 3 \\ 1 & 7 & - 3 \\ 3 & 7 & 5 \end{matrix}| = 1 (35 + 21) - 1 (5 + 9) + 3 (7 - 21) = 1 (56) - 1 (14) + 3 (- 14) = 56 - 14 - 42 = 0$

Step 6 Evaluate the determinant Dz, use the constants to replace the coefficients of z.

$D_{z} = |\begin{matrix} 1 & - 2 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & 7 \\ 3 & - 4 & 7 \end{matrix}| = 1 (7 + 28) + 2 (7 - 21) + 1 (- 4 - 3) = 1 (35) + 2 (- 14) + 1 (- 7) = 35 - 28 - 7 = 0$

Here, all the determinants are equal to zero.

So, the system is consistent and dependent and it has infinitely many solutions.
