Gaussian elimination

Solve the following system of linear equations, which is already in echelon form, using back-substitution:

$\left\{ \begin{array}{rcl} x + 2y - z & = & 4 \\ 3y + z & = & 5 \\ 2z & = & 4 \end{array} \right.$

Solve the following system in which some unknowns are missing from the equations, reordering them appropriately if you consider it necessary:

$\left\{ \begin{array}{rcl} x + y & = & 3 \\ y + z & = & 5 \\ x + z & = & 4 \end{array} \right.$

Find the value of the coefficient $a$ knowing that the triple $(1, -1, 2)$ is a solution to the following system:

$\left\{ \begin{array}{rcl} x + y + z & = & 2 \\ 2x - y - z & = & 1 \\ x + ay + 2z & = & 8 \end{array} \right.$

Apply Gaussian elimination to triangularise and solve the following system of equations:

$\left\{ \begin{array}{rcl} x + y + z & = & 6 \\ x - y + 2z & = & 5 \\ x + y - z & = & 0 \end{array} \right.$

Solve the following system using Gaussian elimination, eliminating the variable $x$ from the second and third equations first:

$\left\{ \begin{array}{rcl} x + 2y + z & = & 7 \\ 2x - y + 3z & = & 11 \\ -x + y - z & = & -4 \end{array} \right.$

Solve the following system of linear equations, operating first with the fractions to obtain an equivalent system with integer coefficients:

$\left\{ \begin{array}{rcl} \frac{x}{2} + \frac{y}{3} - z & = & 1 \\ x - \frac{y}{2} + \frac{z}{3} & = & 2 \\ \frac{x}{3} + y - \frac{z}{2} & = & 3 \end{array} \right.$

Without solving it completely, classify the following echelon system (as a consistent independent system, consistent dependent system, or inconsistent system) and justify your answer:

$\left\{ \begin{array}{rcl} x - 3y + 2z & = & 1 \\ 2y - z & = & 4 \\ 0z & = & 7 \end{array} \right.$

Write the solution to the following echelon system in terms of a parameter $\lambda$:

$\left\{ \begin{array}{rcl} x + y + z & = & 3 \\ y - 2z & = & 2 \\ 0z & = & 0 \end{array} \right.$

Solve the following system containing four equations and three unknowns. State whether any equation is redundant or if the system is inconsistent:

$\left\{ \begin{array}{rcl} x - y + z & = & 2 \\ 2x + y - z & = & 1 \\ x + 2y - 2z & = & -1 \\ 3x + y + z & = & 5 \end{array} \right.$

Discuss the consistency of the following system of linear equations depending on the parameter $k$ and solve it for the case in which it is a consistent dependent system:

$\left\{ \begin{array}{rcl} x + y - z & = & 1 \\ 2x - y + z & = & 2 \\ x - 2y + 2z & = & k \end{array} \right.$

Study and discuss the following system of linear equations depending on the values of the parameter $m$. Solve it for $m = 2$.

$\left\{ \begin{array}{rcl} x + y + z & = & 1 \\ 2x + my + z & = & 2 \\ x + y + mz & = & 3 \end{array} \right.$

Discuss the following system and find the value or values of $a$ for which the system is consistent dependent. Write the general solution for that case.

$\left\{ \begin{array}{rcl} x + y - z & = & 10 \\ 2x - y + 3z & = & 20 \\ 5x - y + 5z & = & a \end{array} \right.$

Geometrically, a linear equation with three unknowns represents a plane in space. Solve the system formed by the planes $\pi_1$, $\pi_2$ and $\pi_3$, interpret the result you obtain and state what geometric figure they form at their intersection.

$\left\{ \begin{array}{rcl} x + y + z & = & 3 \\ 2x - y + z & = & 2 \\ 3x + 2z & = & 5 \end{array} \right.$

Prove, using Gaussian elimination, that the system of equations:

$\left\{ \begin{array}{rcl} x + y + z & = & a \\ x - y + z & = & b \\ 2x + 2z & = & c \end{array} \right.$

is consistent only if the relation $a + b = c$ holds. Explain the algebraic meaning of this condition.
