Solve the following systems of homogeneous linear equations by matrix method:
x + y – 6z = 0
x – y + 2z = 0
– 3x + y + 2z = 0
Matching exercise
Match the items on the right to the items on the left.
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Step 5
Step 6
Step 7
Now, |A| = 1(– 2 – 2) – 1(2 + 6) – 6(1 – 3)= 0
Hence, the system has infinite solutions
Let z = k
X + y = 6k
x – y = – 2k
