Tutorial 2 (Systems of Linear Equations)

Instructions: Use 6 decimal places for all calculations when possible.

1. Solve the following system of equations using Gaussian elimination:

a)
−12 + - = -20

- 4 + 2 = 10
−2

+ 2 + 2 = 25

b)

+ + = 7
2

- 2 + 3 = 10
2

+ 2 + 5 = 14
−4

2. Solve the following system of equations using LU decomposition:

a)
7 + 2 - 3 = -12

+ 5 - 3 = -20
2

- - 6 = -26

b)
+ 2 - 3 = 1

+ 6 + 10 = 0
2

+ 14 + 28 = -8

3. Given the system

17 - 2 - 3 = 500

+ 21 - 2 = 200
−5

- 5 + 22 = 30
−5

Solve the problem with Gauss-Seidel method with accuracy = 0.01.

4. Use the Gauss-Seidel method to obtain the solution of the linear system
- + 10 = -7

+ 3 - 2 = 51
20

+ 8 + 4 = 25
