Prove that is divisible by and hence find the quotient.

OR


Using elementary transformations, find the inverse of the matrix and use it to solve the following system of linear equations:


To prove: is divisible by (x + y + z)


To find: the quotient



Apply C1 C1 – C2 and C2 C2 – C3




Taking common (x + y + z) from C1 and C2




Apply R1 R1 + R2 + R3





Expanding the determinant


= (x + y + z)2 (xy – z2 + yz – x2 + zx – y2){(z – y)(y – x) – (x – z)2}


= (x + y + z)2 (xy – z2 + yz – x2 + zx – y2){(zy – y2 + xy – xz) – (x2 + z2 – 2xz)}


= (x + y + z)2 (xy – z2 + yz – x2 + zx – y2)(zy – y2 + xy – xz – x2 – z2 + 2xz)


= (x + y + z)2 (zy + xy + xz – x2 – y2 – z2)2




Hence the given determinant is divisible by (x + y + z) and quotient is


OR


Given: System of equations:


8x + 4y + 3z = 19, 2x + y + z = 5, x + 2y + 2z = 7


To find: Solution of the system of the equations i.e. values of x, y and z which satisfy these equations



We know,


A = I.A where I is an identity matrix



Applying R1 R3



Applying R2 R2 – 2R1 and R3 R3 – 8R1






Applying R1 R1 – 2R2 and R3 R3 + 12R2




Applying R3 -R3 and R2 R2 – R3





To solve these equation and get values of x, y and z, we have:


AX = B where,



AX = B


X = A-1 B






Hence, solutions of the equations are x = 1, y = 2, z = 1
