Exercises: Gauss-Jordan Elimination

1–4 Use Gauss-Jordan elimination to find the solution to the 3. 2x2 + 6x3 = 2
given linear system. 3x1 + 9x2 + 4x3 = 7

1. x1 + 3x2 + 4x3 = 3 x1 + 3x2 + 5x3 = 6

2x1 + 7x2 + 3x3 = −7

4. x1 + 3x2 + 2x3 + 5x4 = 11
2x1 + 8x2 + 6x3 = −4
−x1 + 2x2 − 2x3 + 5x4 = −6
2. 2x1 + 8x2 − 4x3 = 0 2x1 + 6x2 + 4x3 + 7x4 = 19
2x1 + 11x2 + 5x3 = 9 5x2 + 2x3 + 6x4 = 5
4x1 + 18x2 + 3x3 = 11
