Solve the following system of the linear equations by Cramer’s rule:
x + y + z + 1 = 0
ax + by + cz + d = 0
a2x + b2y + c2z + d2 = 0
Given: - Equations are: –
x + y + z + 1 = 0
ax + by + cz + d = 0
a2x + b2y + c2z + d2 = 0
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
x + y + z + 1 = 0
ax + by + cz + d = 0
a2x + b2y + c2z + d2 = 0
So by comparing with theorem, lets find D , D1 , D2 and D3
applying,
⇒
Take (b – a) from c2 , and (c – a) from c3 common, we get
⇒
Solving determinant, expanding along 1st Row
⇒ D = (b – a)(c – a)1[c + a – (b + a)]
⇒ D = (b – a)(c – a)(c + a – b – a)
⇒ D = (b – a)(c – a)(c – b)
⇒ D = (a – b)(b – c)(c – a)
Again, Solve D1 formed by replacing 1st column by B matrices
Here
applying,
⇒
Take (b – d) from c2 , and (c – d) from c3 common, we get
⇒
Solving determinant, expanding along 1st Row
⇒ D1 = – (b – d)(c – d)1[c + d – (b + d)]
⇒ D1 = – (b – d)(c – d)(c + d – b – d)
⇒ D1 = – (b – d)(c – d)(c – b)
⇒ D1 = – (d – b)(b – c)(c – d)
Again, Solve D2 formed by replacing 2nd column by B matrices
Here
applying,
⇒
Take (d – a) from c2 , and (c – a) from c3 common, we get
⇒
Solving determinant, expanding along 1st Row
⇒ D2 = – (d – a)(c – a)1[c + a – (d + a)]
⇒ D2 = – (d – a)(c – a)(c + a – d – a)
⇒ D2 = – (d – a)(c – a)(c – d)
⇒ D2 = – (a – d)(d – c)(c – a)
And, Solve D3 formed by replacing 3rd column by B matrices
Here
⇒
applying,
⇒
Take (b – a) from c2 , and (d – a) from c3 common, we get
⇒
Solving determinant, expanding along 1st Row
⇒ D3 = – (b – d)(c – d)1[a + d – (b + a)]
⇒ D3 = – (b – d)(c – d)(a + d – b – a)
⇒ D3 = – (b – d)(c – d)(d – b)
⇒ D3 = – (d – b)(b – d)(c – d)
Thus by Cramer’s Rule, we have
