(b) For what values of α and β is the following system consistent?
2x + 4y + (α + 3)z = 2, x + 3y + z = 2, (α − 2)x + 2y + 3z = β.
(4) Solve the following system of linear equations by Gauss elimination method:
(a) x + 4y − z = 4, x + y − 6z = −4, 3x − y − z = 1
(b) x + 2y − z = 1, 2x + y + 5z = 2, 3x + 3y + 4z = 1
(c) x + 2y + z = 2, 3x + y − 2z = 1, 2x + 4y + 2z = 4
(6) Use Gauss elimination method to show that following system has no solution:
2 sin x − cos y + 3 tan z = 3
(a) 4 sin x + 2 cos y − 2 tan z = 10 ,
6 sin x − 3 cos y + tan z = 9.
2x2 + 2x3 + 3x4 = b1
(b) 2x1 + 4x2 + 6x3 + 7x4 = b2 for some (b1 , b2 , b3 ) ∈ R3 such that b1 − b2 + 2b3 6= 0.
x1 + x2 + 2x3 + 2x4 = b3 ,
