Solution Using Determinants
Given system of equations:
1. x + y + z + 1 = 0
2. x + 2y + 3z + 4 = 0
3. x + 3y + 4z + 6 = 0
Rewriting in standard form:
1. x + y + z = -1
2. x + 2y + 3z = -4
3. x + 3y + 4z = -6
Coefficient matrix A:
|1 1 1|
|1 2 3|
|1 3 4|
Constants matrix B:
| -1 |
| -4 |
| -6 |
Determinant D:
D=|111|
| 1 2 3 | = -1
|134|
D_x = | -1 1 1 |
| -4 2 3 | = -1
| -6 3 4 |
D_y = | 1 -1 1 |
| 1 -4 3 | = 1
| 1 -6 4 |
D_z = | 1 1 -1 |
| 1 2 -4 | = 1
| 1 3 -6 |
Using Cramer's Rule:
x = D_x / D = -1 / -1 = 1
y = D_y / D = 1 / -1 = -1
z = D_z / D = 1 / -1 = -1
Final Answer:
x = 1, y = -1, z = -1
