Gaussian Elimination with Back-Substitution, use matrices to solve the system of equations (if possible). Use Gaussian elimination with back-substitution. $$\left\\{\begin{aligned} x+2 y &=0 \\ x+y &=6 \\ 3 x-2 y &=8 \end{aligned}\right.$$
Curve Fitting, use a system of equations to find the quadratic function \(f(x)=a x^{2}+b x+c\) that satisfies the given conditions. Solve the system using matrices. $$f(1)=9, f(2)=8, f(3)=5$$
Writing a Matrix in Row-Echelon Form, write the matrix in row-echelon form. (Remember that the row-echelon form of a matrix is not unique.) $$\left[ \begin{array}{rrrr}{1} & {-1} & {-1} & {1} \\ {5} & {-4} & {1} & {8} \\\ {-6} & {8} & {18} & {0}\end{array}\right]$$
True or False? In Exercises 95 and 96, determine whether the statement is true or false. Justify your answer If a square matrix has an entire row of zeros, then the determinant will always be zero.
Using a Graphing Utility, use the matrix capabilities of a graphing utility to write the matrix in reduced row-echelon form. $$\left[ \begin{array}{rrrr}{1} & {2} & {3} & {-5} \\ {1} & {2} & {4} & {-9} \\\ {-2} & {-4} & {-4} & {3} \\ {4} & {8} & {11} & {-14}\end{array}\right]$$
