PROBLEM
Determine whether the ordered triples listed are solutions of the system of linear equations. ⎩⎨⎧x+y+2z=−5x−3y+2z=5x−2y+3z=0−100(a) (1,1,−1) (b) (3,1,−2)
STEP 1
1. We have a system of three linear equations with three variables: x, y, and z. 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) into the first equation x+y+2z=0: 1+1+2(−1)=0Simplify: 1+1−2=00=0The first equation is satisfied.
STEP 4
Substitute (x,y,z)=(1,1,−1) into the second equation −5x−3y+2z=−10: −5(1)−3(1)+2(−1)=−10Simplify: −5−3−2=−10−10=−10The second equation is satisfied.
STEP 5
Substitute (x,y,z)=(1,1,−1) into the third equation 5x−2y+3z=0: 5(1)−2(1)+3(−1)=0Simplify: 5−2−3=00=0The third equation is satisfied. Since all three equations are satisfied, the ordered triple (1,1,−1) is a solution.
STEP 6
Substitute (x,y,z)=(3,1,−2) into the first equation x+y+2z=0: 3+1+2(−2)=0Simplify: 3+1−4=00=0The first equation is satisfied.
SOLUTION
Substitute (x,y,z)=(3,1,−2) into the second equation −5x−3y+2z=−10: −5(3)−3(1)+2(−2)=−10Simplify: −15−3−4=−10−22=−10The second equation is not satisfied. Since the second equation is not satisfied, the ordered triple (3,1,−2) is not a solution. The ordered triple (1,1,−1) is a solution, while (3,1,−2) is not a solution.
