Useful information

A system of linear equations is a system of figures:
$$\large{\left\{\begin{array}{1} \mathrm{a_{11}x_{1} + a_{12}x_{2}}&+&\cdots&+&\mathrm{a_{1n}x_{n} = b_{1}},\\ \mathrm{a_{21}x_{1} + a_{22}x_{2}}&+&\dotsb&+&\mathrm{a_{2n}x_{n} = b_{2}},\\ \vdots&\vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\ \mathrm{a_{m1}x_{1} + a_{m2}x_{2}}&+&\cdots&+&\mathrm{a_{mn}x_{n} = b_{m}} \end{array} \right.}$$
gdzie:

$\mathrm{\large{a_{11},...,a_{mn}}}$ - these are the coefficients of the equation (data)
$\mathrm{\large{b_{1},...,b_{m}}}$- free words (data)
$\mathrm{\large{x_{1},...,x_{n}}}$- unknown

There are two types of systems of linear equations:

• homogeneous systems of linear equations,

• systems of linear equations non-homogeneous,
A system of linear equations is called homogeneous if all the terms are zero.
$$\large{\left\{\begin{array}{1} \mathrm{a_{11}x_{1} + a_{12}x_{2}}&+&\cdots&+&\mathrm{a_{1n}x_{n} = 0},\\ \mathrm{a_{21}x_{1} + a_{22}x_{2}}&+&\dotsb&+&\mathrm{a_{2n}x_{n} = 0},\\ \vdots&\vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\ \mathrm{a_{m1}x_{1} + a_{m2}x_{2}}&+&\cdots&+&\mathrm{a_{mn}x_{n} = 0} \end{array} \right.}$$

The methods of solving linear equations are divided into two classes:

• finite methods - allow to obtain a solution after performing a finite number of arithmetic operations, and the obtained solutions are burdened with rounding errors only.

• iterative methods - they consist in determining the sequence of vectors converging to the solution of the system. The obtained solutions are subject to errors in the method and rounding. These methods, however, allow to determine solutions with any predetermined accuracy.

The Gauss-Jordan elimination method is used to calculate inverse matrices and to solve systems of linear equations with many unknowns.

The Gauss-Jordan method consists in transforming a given system of equations into a system in which the matrix of coefficients of the system of linear equations is a unit matrix through an appropriate sequence of operations called elementary operations. Such operations are understood as:
• multiplying a row by a number other than zero,
• adding another multiplied by any number to one row,
• replacing two lines (only if necessary).

Please note that we cannot perform operations on columns, in the Gauss-Jordan method we can perform operations on rows, we can multiply rows by a number other than zero, add (subtract) rows together.
