  1. Do not ping the Moderators, unless someone is breaking the rules.
  2. Do not ping the Helper Moderators, unless there is a conflict between helpers.
  3. Do not ping other members randomly for help.
  4. Ask your question and show the work you've done so far. If you've posted a screenshot of a question, specify which part you need help with.
  5. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
  6. If the Helper has answered your question, remember to thank them with the Mathematics Ranks bot and close the thread with:

Yes, you should use matrices..

#

but how should i do that?

#

This is my solution, I would really appreciate if someone can take a look to tell me if its correct:

#

It's just for A)

#

Oh, I made a slightly mistake, here is the fixed one:

#

Seems correct, is my approach alright tho?

#

Is it messy or unclear?

ripe valve
#

seems fine, you just used Cramer's rule

#

what you wrote for finding det(A) is weird imo

near nacelle
#

Oh? What exactly?

#

Also, about Б), I am getting X=(4/7, 6/7, 2/7), but when I check the answer, it says that there are no solutions?

#

I mean, the implication arrow is weird

#

Can I send my solution?

ripe valve
#

Im not going to check your work, just check with a calculator

near nacelle
#

If there is nothing for x2 on row 2 like it is in this case, do I just write 0 in the matrix?

ripe valve
#

But yeah, det(A) for that is 0

#

so Cramer's rule isn't applicable

near nacelle
#

Oh yes, solved det(A) again and it's indeed zero

#

I apologise, I'll check my answers twice before asking anything

#

What should be done when the det(A) is zero, since we can't use the Cramer's rule? It means it either has countless solutions, or no solutions, how do I determinate which one is the case?

ripe valve
#

solve with row operations like usual

near nacelle
#

Alright, solved this as well

#

About the last one, by the definition in my textbook, if the number of undefined elements is greater than the number of independent equations, then the system has countless solutions

#

Is this true for В)? Is that all here?

near nacelle
#

Nvm, solved it. Thanks for the help!
