1. Solve for the variables using Gaussian Elimination and Gauss Jordan Elimination.
In both cases, use the “augmented matrix form” of the linear system.
x + 2y – 4z + 3w = 4
2x -3y + 5z + w = 7
2x -7y + 9z -2w = 8
3x – 6y +3z + 3w = -1
2. Refer to the Linear System of Problem 1. Obtain the Inverse of the “coefficient
matrix” A using 2 methods.
3. Refer to Problem 1. If the four equations are all equated to zero, the system
becomes “homogenous”. What would be the “echelon form” of the equivalent
homogenous linear system using Gauss Elimination?
f(x) = x3 – 5x2 + 2x - 1
