Solve the following system of the linear equations by Cramer’s rule:
2y – 3z = 0
X + 3y = – 4
3x + 4y = 3
Given: - Equations are: –
2y – 3z = 0
X + 3y = – 4
3x + 4y = 3
Tip: - Theorem – Cramer’s Rule
Let there be a system of n simultaneous linear equations and with n unknown given by
and let Dj be the determinant obtained from D after replacing the jth column by
Then,
provided that D ≠ 0
Now, here we have
2y – 3z = 0
x + 3y = – 4
3x + 4y = 3
So by comparing with theorem, lets find D , D1 and D2
Solving determinant, expanding along 1st Row
⇒ D = 0[0] – 2[(0)(1) – 0] – 3[1(4) – 3(3)]
⇒ D = 0 – 0 – 3[4 – 9]
⇒ D = 0 – 0 + 15
⇒ D = 15
Again, Solve D1 formed by replacing 1st column by B matrices
Here
Solving determinant, expanding along 1st Row
⇒ D1 = 0[0] – 2[(0)( – 4) – 0] – 3[4( – 4) – 3(3)]
⇒ D1 = 0 – 0 – 3[ – 16 – 9]
⇒ D1 = 0 – 0 – 3( – 25)
⇒ D1 = 0 – 0 + 75
⇒ D1 = 75
Again, Solve D2 formed by replacing 2nd column by B matrices
Here
Solving determinant
⇒ D2 = 0[0] – 0[(0)(1) – 0] – 3[1(3) – 3( – 4)]
⇒ D2 = 0 – 0 + ( – 3)(3 + 12)
⇒ D2 = – 45
And, Solve D3 formed by replacing 3rd column by B matrices
Here
⇒
Solving determinant, expanding along 1st Row
⇒ D3 = 0[9 – ( – 4)4] – 2[(3)(1) – ( – 4)(3)] + 0[1(4) – 3(3)]
⇒ D3 = 0[25] – 2(3 + 12) + 0(4 – 9)
⇒ D3 = 0 – 30 + 0
⇒ D3 = – 30
Thus by Cramer’s Rule, we have
⇒
⇒
⇒ x = 5
again,
⇒
⇒
⇒ y = – 3
and,
⇒
⇒
⇒ z = – 2
