Cramer'S Rule On The System of Linear Equation: Coeeficient Matrices

Cramer's rule provides an explicit formula for solving a system of linear equations where there are as many equations as unknowns. It expresses the solution in terms of determinants of the coefficient matrix and matrices created by replacing one column of the coefficient matrix with the constants on the right-hand side of the equations. Cramer's rule works whenever the system has a unique solution, but if the determinant of the coefficient matrix is zero, the system cannot be solved using this method due to division by zero.

CRAMER’S RULE ON THE SYSTEM OF LINEAR

EQUATION
In linear algebra, Cramer's rule is an explicit formula for the solution of a
system of linear equations with as many equations as unknowns, valid
whenever the system has a unique solution. It expresses the solution in terms
of the determinants of the (square) coefficient matrix and of matrices obtained
from it by replacing one column with the column vector of the right-hand sides
of the equations. It is named after Gabriel Cramer (1704–1752), who published
the rule for an arbitrary number of unknowns in 1750.

COEEFICIENT MATRICES
Determinants can be used to solve the system of linear equations. You use the
coefficient matrix of the linear system.

Let A be the Coefficient matrix

If detA ≠ 0 then the solution is:

Let the equations be:

The following equations can be written as:

then:

where:

Cramer's rule for 3 x 3 system


The formula for the values x, y, and z are shown below. Notice that all three
have the same denominator

EXAMPLE :

according to the formula:

EXAMPLE 2:
2x +   y + z = 3
  x –   y – z = 0
  x + 2y + z = 0

Evaluating each determinant, we get:

Cramer's Rule says that x = Dx  ÷ D, y = Dy  ÷ D, and z = Dz  ÷ D. That is:

x = 3/3 = 1,  y = –6/3 = –2,  and  z = 9/3 = 3

CONCLUSION:
Not all systems have definite solutions. If the determinant of the coefficient matrix is zero, a
solution cannot be found using Cramer's rule because of division by zero.

When the solution cannot be determined then one of the two cases may exist

The Planes graphed by each equation are parallel and there are no solutions.

The three planes share one line (like how three pages of a book share the same spine) or
represent the same plane in which there are infinite solutions.

The point of Cramer's Rule is that you don't have to solve the whole system to get the one
value you need.
