Use Gauss-Jordan Elimination to Solve the Linear System and Determine $$\begin{array} { r r } x + y + z & = 9 \\2 x - 3 y + 4 z & = 7 \\x - 4 y + 3 z & = - 2\end{array}$$

question 155

Multiple Choice

Use Gauss-Jordan elimination to solve the linear system and determine whether the system has a unique solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions. If the system has infinitely many solutions, describe the solution as an ordered
triple involving variable z.
- $$\begin{array} { r r } x + y + z & = 9 \\2 x - 3 y + 4 z & = 7 \\x - 4 y + 3 z & = - 2\end{array}$$

• A) \(\left( - \frac { 7 z } { 5 } + \frac { 34 } { 5 } , \frac { 2 z } { 5 } + \frac { 11 } { 5 } , z \right)\)
• B) \(\left( \frac { 7 z } { 5 } + \frac { 34 } { 5 } , \frac { 2 z } { 5 } - \frac { 11 } { 5 } , z \right)\)
• C) \(\left( - \frac { 7 z } { 5 } + \frac { 34 } { 5 } , \frac { 2 z } { 5 } - \frac { 11 } { 5 } , z \right)\)
• D) \(\left( \frac { z } { 5 } + \frac { 34 } { 5 } , \frac { 2 z } { 5 } + \frac { 11 } { 5 } , z \right)\)
