If you have worked steadily through the Programme, you should have no difficulty with this exercise. Take your time and work carefully. There is no extra credit for speed. Off you go then. They are all quite straightforward. Use determinants to solve completely: $$ \left\{\begin{array}{c} x-3 y+4 z-5=0 \\ 2 x+y+z-3=0 \\ 4 x+3 y+5 z-1=0 \end{array}\right. $$

Key Concepts

System of Linear Equations

A system of linear equations is a collection of two or more equations involving the same set of variables. The goal is to find a unique solution, if one exists, that satisfies all the equations simultaneously. These systems form the foundation for many topics in algebra and are applicable in various fields such as physics, engineering, and economics.

Determinants

A determinant is a scalar value derived from a square matrix. It provides important information about the matrix, including whether the matrix is invertible, since a non-zero determinant indicates that the matrix has an inverse. Determinants also play a crucial role in areas such as solving systems of equations, finding eigenvalues, and calculating volumes in higher dimensions.

Cramer's Rule

Cramer's Rule is a method used for solving systems of linear equations with as many equations as unknowns, provided that the coefficient matrix has a non-zero determinant. The rule expresses each variable as a ratio of determinants: the numerator is the determinant of a matrix obtained by replacing the corresponding column with the constants from the equations, and the denominator is the determinant of the coefficient matrix. This method highlights the interplay between determinants and the solution of linear systems.
