Step 1
Use cramer’s rule to solve the system of equation. If D = 0, use another method to determine the solution set
5x+5y10z=8
2x+yz=7
xy+2z=3
Step 2
First, find the determinant of the coefficient matrix.
A=[5510211112] and b=[873]
D=|A|
D=5(21)5(41)10(2+1)
D=515+10
D=0
Step 3
To solve the system of equation with Gaussian elimination using augmented matrix
Write as an augmented matrix
[A:b]=[5510821171123]
Apply row operation
R3R3+15R1R2R225R1 [55108013195000235]
Rank (A)=2
and Rank (A:b)=3
(A)Rank(A:b)
System of equation has no solution
Step 4
Answer: (C ) There is no solution. The solution set is empty
