  • Now that we know how to represent systems of linear equations by using matrices, how can we solve those systems while in matrix notation? The easiest way is called Gauss-Jordan elimination, so let's learn how to do it!

    Professor Dave, your videos are well done. I would make one suggestion, when you give the final problem on your matrices to practice, don't just show the answer, but show how you solved it. It is important to learn and reinforce the process. Thank you!

      1 1 1 5 1 1 1 5
      2 3 5 8 => we multiply the 1st row by 2 so we can substract the first from second row and we get 0 1 3 -2
      4 0 5 2 4 0 5 2
      => than we (note that we don't change the first row) multiply the first row by 4 and substract the 1st row from 3rd
      and we get:
      1 1 1 5
      0 1 3 -2
      0 -4 1 -18
      => now we can multiply the second row by 4 and combine the 3rd and second row so we get
      1 1 1 5
      0 1 3 -2
      0 0 13 -26
      here we can devide the whole 3rd row by 13 and we get 0 0 1 -2 (z = -2) and knowing that we can get x and y
      Its essential to work with 0 and 1 so you make your work easier

    You have a gift, honestly most professors can’t help but ramble on and talk on circles making this more confusing than they should be. You say only what is need in a clear and concise way. You’re videos are my absolute favorite.

    For anyone else who had a hard time with this, 2 things really helped me to start understanding the strategy for elimination:
    1. Dave says so in the video, but it went right over my head: Don't worry about getting 1 values in the matrix, focus only on getting 0 values. Once all but the rightmost value and one other value in a row are zeroed, you can divide both values by the coefficient non-zero value, which will convert the row to RREF and provide a solution.
    2. It helps me to start zeroing from the top-right or bottom-left corner of the coefficient matrix. It almost feels like a game or a puzzle: Getting those corner values zeroed provides a solid base to start zeroing horizontally or vertically without accidentally limiting yourself to operations that would change a previously created zero.
    Anyhow, hope that helps. If anyone has any other strategies, I'd love to hear them. Thanks for the video, Dave! Looking forward to more!

    @colorx6030 Před rokem +8

    Man, studying these (relatively) advanced Math courses in College really reveals which fundamentals in Algebra you didn't understand since every advanced concept is just built on the basic foundations. In my case, I didn't really know much about the elimination method (I always solve using substitution method) so I had to learn elimination method before rewatching this video.

    • @educationyoutube2945
      @educationyoutube2945 Před rokem

      Switching rows doesn't change the system of equations, but makes elimination easier. In this case, the 2nd row is z=0 and the 3rd row is y+z=5.

    If youre feeling stuck on the comprehension, remember that only the bottom left and top right need to become 0 (ignore the last column with the answers) and that you only need to operate on one row at a time. You can do it!!

    @wtmftproductions Před 5 měsíci +1

    Can someone explain how the challenge at the end is solved? I thought I understood this very well but found it to feel like a rubix cube where all my "moves" are unproductive, as even though I can get a zero in a spot, I end up losing it when I get a zero in a different spot.

    • @user-hv6ef9ie1g
      @user-hv6ef9ie1g Před 5 měsíci

      Now that you've mentioned it i realized it's akin to solving a rubik's cube lol
      Anyways this is how i done it:
      R2=R2-2(R1)
      R3=R3-2(R2)
      R1=R1-R2
      R3=R3+6(R2)
      R3=(R3)/13
      R1=R1+2(R3)
      R2=R2-3(R3)
      Tips: Make [1 0 0] first in the first column, and then try to make [0 1 0] in the second column, and then [0 0 1] in the third column. Very similar to solving a rubik's cube where we start by solving the bottom first and moving above, in here we start by the left side first then moving to the right side

    Can we reduce the equations once we get just 2 vars in the equations and find values by getting relation between the vars like x=2z etc or we need to do only matrix operations until we arrive at 1,0,0 / 0,1,0 etc format?

    • @carultch
      @carultch Před rokem

      Depends on who's asking you to do it. It is a perfectly valid solution to the original problem, to do what you propose, and if it were up to me, I'd give full credit for your solution method. I.e. stopping part way with Gauss-Jordan elimination (GJE) once you determine one of your variables, and simply using relationships among the variables to find the others. So as long as the person asking doesn't care about the method, it is perfectly valid to do what you propose.
      By contrast, if you are in a class where you are learning GJE, they are probably expecting you to take the row operations all the way, and solve for all of the variables with the method you are being tested upon. If anything, I don't really see the advantage in doing what you propose, because it is ultimately the same work to finish the GJE completely, and what you propose would require another mental exercise to do.
