PROBLEM

Determine whether the ordered triples listed are solutions of the system of linear equations.
{x+y+2z=05x3y+2z=105x2y+3z=0\left\{\begin{array}{rr} x+y+2 z= & 0 \\ -5 x-3 y+2 z= & -10 \\ 5 x-2 y+3 z= & 0 \end{array}\right. (a) (1,1,1)(1,1,-1)
(b) (3,1,2)(3,1,-2)

STEP 1

1. We have a system of three linear equations with three variables: xx, yy, and zz.
2. We need to determine if each ordered triple is a solution to the system by substituting the values into each equation.
3. An ordered triple is a solution if it satisfies all three equations.

STEP 2

1. Substitute the ordered triple (1, 1, -1) into each equation and verify.
2. Substitute the ordered triple (3, 1, -2) into each equation and verify.

STEP 3

Substitute (x,y,z)=(1,1,1) (x, y, z) = (1, 1, -1) into the first equation x+y+2z=0 x + y + 2z = 0 :
1+1+2(1)=0 1 + 1 + 2(-1) = 0 Simplify:
1+12=0 1 + 1 - 2 = 0 0=0 0 = 0 The first equation is satisfied.

STEP 4

Substitute (x,y,z)=(1,1,1) (x, y, z) = (1, 1, -1) into the second equation 5x3y+2z=10 -5x - 3y + 2z = -10 :
5(1)3(1)+2(1)=10 -5(1) - 3(1) + 2(-1) = -10 Simplify:
532=10 -5 - 3 - 2 = -10 10=10 -10 = -10 The second equation is satisfied.

STEP 5

Substitute (x,y,z)=(1,1,1) (x, y, z) = (1, 1, -1) into the third equation 5x2y+3z=0 5x - 2y + 3z = 0 :
5(1)2(1)+3(1)=0 5(1) - 2(1) + 3(-1) = 0 Simplify:
523=0 5 - 2 - 3 = 0 0=0 0 = 0 The third equation is satisfied.
Since all three equations are satisfied, the ordered triple (1,1,1)(1, 1, -1) is a solution.

STEP 6

Substitute (x,y,z)=(3,1,2) (x, y, z) = (3, 1, -2) into the first equation x+y+2z=0 x + y + 2z = 0 :
3+1+2(2)=0 3 + 1 + 2(-2) = 0 Simplify:
3+14=0 3 + 1 - 4 = 0 0=0 0 = 0 The first equation is satisfied.

SOLUTION

Substitute (x,y,z)=(3,1,2) (x, y, z) = (3, 1, -2) into the second equation 5x3y+2z=10 -5x - 3y + 2z = -10 :
5(3)3(1)+2(2)=10 -5(3) - 3(1) + 2(-2) = -10 Simplify:
1534=10 -15 - 3 - 4 = -10 2210 -22 \neq -10 The second equation is not satisfied.
Since the second equation is not satisfied, the ordered triple (3,1,2)(3, 1, -2) is not a solution.
The ordered triple (1,1,1)(1, 1, -1) is a solution, while (3,1,2)(3, 1, -2) is not a solution.
