A system of equations is said to be redundant if one of the equations in the system is a linear combination of the other equations. Show by using the pivot operation that the following system is redundant. Is this system equivalent to a system of equations in canonical form?
a) x1 +x2 −3x3 = 7
b) −2x1 +x2 +5x3 = 2
c) 3x2 −x3 = 16

Answer:

prove that The given system of equations is redundant is attached below

Step-by-step explanation:

System of equations

x1 +x2 −3x3 = 7

−2x1 +x2 +5x3 = 2

 3x2 −x3 = 16

To prove that the system is redundant we will apply the Gaussian elimination ( pivot operation )

attached below is the solution
