1. **Solve the system using Gauss-Jordan Elimination:** Given system: $$\begin{cases} 2x + y - z = 3 \\ 4x - y + 2z = 1 \\ -2x + 3y + z = 4 \end{cases}$$ Step 1: Write the augmented matrix: $$\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c} 2 & 1 & -1 & 3 \\ 4 & -1 & 2 & 1 \\ -2 & 3 & 1 & 4 \end{array}\right]$$ Step 2: Make the pivot in row 1 equal to 1 by dividing row 1 by 2: $$\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c} \cancel{2} \frac{1}{\cancel{2}} & \frac{1}{2} & -\frac{1}{2} & \frac{3}{2} \\ 4 & -1 & 2 & 1 \\ -2 & 3 & 1 & 4 \end{array}\right]$$ Step 3: Eliminate the first column entries below and above the pivot: - Row 2 = Row 2 - 4 * Row 1 - Row 3 = Row 3 + 2 * Row 1 After calculation: $$\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & \frac{1}{2} & -\frac{1}{2} & \frac{3}{2} \\ 0 & -3 & 4 & -5 \\ 0 & 4 & 0 & 7 \end{array}\right]$$ Step 4: Make pivot in row 2 equal to 1 by dividing row 2 by -3: $$\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & \frac{1}{2} & -\frac{1}{2} & \frac{3}{2} \\ 0 & \cancel{-3} \frac{1}{\cancel{-3}} & -\frac{4}{3} & \frac{5}{3} \\ 0 & 4 & 0 & 7 \end{array}\right]$$ Step 5: Eliminate the second column entries above and below the pivot: - Row 1 = Row 1 - (1/2) * Row 2 - Row 3 = Row 3 - 4 * Row 2 After calculation: $$\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & -\frac{1}{6} & \frac{7}{6} \\ 0 & 1 & -\frac{4}{3} & -\frac{5}{3} \\ 0 & 0 & \frac{16}{3} & \frac{41}{3} \end{array}\right]$$ Step 6: Make pivot in row 3 equal to 1 by dividing row 3 by $\frac{16}{3}$: $$\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & -\frac{1}{6} & \frac{7}{6} \\ 0 & 1 & -\frac{4}{3} & -\frac{5}{3} \\ 0 & 0 & \cancel{\frac{16}{3}} \frac{1}{\cancel{\frac{16}{3}}} & \frac{41}{3} \times \frac{3}{16} \end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & -\frac{1}{6} & \frac{7}{6} \\ 0 & 1 & -\frac{4}{3} & -\frac{5}{3} \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & \frac{41}{16} \end{array}\right]$$ Step 7: Back substitution to eliminate z from rows 1 and 2: - Row 1 = Row 1 + $\frac{1}{6}$ * Row 3 - Row 2 = Row 2 + $\frac{4}{3}$ * Row 3 After calculation: $$\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & 0 & \frac{7}{6} + \frac{41}{96} = \frac{112}{96} + \frac{41}{96} = \frac{153}{96} = \frac{51}{32} \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & -\frac{5}{3} + \frac{164}{48} = -\frac{80}{48} + \frac{164}{48} = \frac{84}{48} = \frac{7}{4} \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & \frac{41}{16} \end{array}\right]$$ **Solution:** $$x = \frac{51}{32}, \quad y = \frac{7}{4}, \quad z = \frac{41}{16}$$ --- 2. **Solve the system using Cramer's Rule:** Given system: $$\begin{cases} 3x + 2y -

2 \begin{vmatrix} 2 & 4 \\ -1 & -1 \end{vmatrix} + (-1) \begin{vmatrix} 2 & -2 \\ -1 & \frac{1}{2} \end{vmatrix}$$ Calculate minors: $$= 3((-2)(-1) - 4 \times \frac{1}{2}) - 2(2 \times -1 - 4 \times -1) - 1(2 \times \frac{1}{2} - (-2) \times -1)$$ $$= 3(2 - 2) - 2(-2 + 4) - (1 - 2) = 3(0) - 2(2) - 1 = -4 - 1 = -5$$ Step 3: Calculate determinants for $x$, $y$, and $z$ replacing respective columns with $\mathbf{b}$: $$\det(A_x) = \begin{vmatrix} 5 & 2 & -1 \\ 6 & -2 & 4 \\ -1 & \frac{1}{2} & -1 \end{vmatrix} = 5 \begin{vmatrix} -2 & 4 \\ \frac{1}{2} & -1 \end{vmatrix} - 2 \begin{vmatrix} 6 & 4 \\ -1 & -1 \end{vmatrix} + (-1) \begin{vmatrix} 6 & -2 \\ -1 & \frac{1}{2} \end{vmatrix}$$ Calculate minors: $$= 5(2 - 2) - 2(6 \times -1 - 4 \times -1) - (6 \times \frac{1}{2} - (-2) \times -1)$$ $$= 5(0) - 2(-6 + 4) - (3 - 2) = 0 - 2(-2) - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3$$ $$\det(A_y) = \begin{vmatrix} 3 & 5 & -1 \\ 2 & 6 & 4 \\ -1 & -1 & -1 \end{vmatrix} = 3 \begin{vmatrix} 6 & 4 \\ -1 & -1 \end{vmatrix} - 5 \begin{vmatrix} 2 & 4 \\ -1 & -1 \end{vmatrix} + (-1) \begin{vmatrix} 2 & 6 \\ -1 & -1 \end{vmatrix}$$ Calculate minors: $$= 3(6 \times -1 - 4 \times -1) - 5(2 \times -1 - 4 \times -1) - (2 \times -1 - 6 \times -1)$$ $$= 3(-6 + 4) - 5(-2 + 4) - (-2 + 6) = 3(-2) - 5(2) - 4 = -6 - 10 - 4 = -20$$ $$\det(A_z) = \begin{vmatrix} 3 & 2 & 5 \\ 2 & -2 & 6 \\ -1 & \frac{1}{2} & -1 \end{vmatrix} = 3 \begin{vmatrix} -2 & 6 \\ \frac{1}{2} & -1 \end{vmatrix} - 2 \begin{vmatrix} 2 & 6 \\ -1 & -1 \end{vmatrix} + 5 \begin{vmatrix} 2 & -2 \\ -1 & \frac{1}{2} \end{vmatrix}$$ Calculate minors: $$= 3((-2)(-1) - 6 \times \frac{1}{2}) - 2(2 \times -1 - 6 \times -1) + 5(2 \times \frac{1}{2} - (-2) \times -1)$$ $$= 3(2 - 3) - 2(-2 + 6) + 5(1 - 2) = 3(-1) - 2(4) + 5(-1) = -3 - 8 - 5 = -16$$ Step 4: Calculate solutions: $$x = \frac{\det(A_x)}{\det(A)} = \frac{3}{-5} = -\frac{3}{5}$$ $$y = \frac{\det(A_y)}{\det(A)} = \frac{-20}{-5} = 4$$ $$z = \frac{\det(A_z)}{\det(A)} = \frac{-16}{-5} = \frac{16}{5}$$ --- 3. **Solve each system with given initial conditions (systems of ODEs):** For each system $\mathbf{x}' = A \mathbf{x}$ with initial condition $\mathbf{x}(0) = \mathbf{x}_0$, solution is $\mathbf{x}(t) = e^{At} \mathbf{x}_0$. (a) $A = \begin{bmatrix}4 & 1 \\ 2 & 3\end{bmatrix}$, $\mathbf{x}(0) = \begin{bmatrix}1 \\ 0\end{bmatrix}$ Step 1: Find eigenvalues $\lambda$ from $\det(A - \lambda I) = 0$: $$\det \begin{bmatrix}4 - \lambda & 1 \\ 2 & 3 - \lambda \end{bmatrix} = (4 - \lambda)(3 - \lambda) - 2 = \lambda^2 - 7\lambda + 10 = 0$$ Step 2: Solve characteristic polynomial: $$\lambda = \frac{7 \pm \sqrt{49 - 40}}{2} = \frac{7 \pm 3}{2}$$ $$\Rightarrow \lambda_1 = 5, \quad \lambda_2 = 2$$ Step 3: Find eigenvectors and form general solution: $$\mathbf{x}(t) = c_1 e^{5t} \mathbf{v}_1 + c_2 e^{2t} \mathbf{v}_2$$ Step 4: Use initial condition to solve for $c_1, c_2$.

(c) $A = \begin{bmatrix}3 & 1 \\ 0 & 3\end{bmatrix}$, $\mathbf{z}(0) = \begin{bmatrix}2 \\ 1\end{bmatrix}$ Step 1: Eigenvalues: $$\det \begin{bmatrix}3 - \lambda & 1 \\ 0 & 3 - \lambda \end{bmatrix} = (3 - \lambda)^2 = 0 \Rightarrow \lambda = 3$$ Step 2: Since eigenvalue is repeated, solution form: $$\mathbf{z}(t) = e^{3t} (c_1 \mathbf{v} + c_2 (\mathbf{w} + t \mathbf{v}))$$ Step 3: Find eigenvector $\mathbf{v}$ and generalized eigenvector $\mathbf{w}$, then use initial condition. --- 4. **Solve systems using undetermined coefficients:** (a) $$\mathbf{x}' = \begin{bmatrix}1 & 0 \\ 0 & 2\end{bmatrix} \mathbf{x} + \begin{bmatrix}t \\ t^2\end{bmatrix}$$ Step 1: Solve homogeneous system.

(b) $$\mathbf{x}' = \begin{bmatrix}2 & 1 \\ 0 & 2\end{bmatrix} \mathbf{x} + \begin{bmatrix}e^{2t} \\ 0\end{bmatrix}$$ Step 1: Homogeneous solution involves $e^{2t}$. Step 2: Because forcing term is $e^{2t}$, try particular solution of form: $$\mathbf{x}_p = t e^{2t} \mathbf{v}$$ Step 3: Substitute and solve for $\mathbf{v}$. (c) $$\mathbf{x}' = \begin{bmatrix}0 & 1 \\ -1 & 0\end{bmatrix} \mathbf{x} + \begin{bmatrix}\cos t \\ \sin t\end{bmatrix}$$ Step 1: Homogeneous solution is oscillatory. Step 2: Try particular solution of form: $$\mathbf{x}_p = \begin{bmatrix}A t \sin t + B t \cos t \\ C t \sin t + D t \cos t\end{bmatrix}$$ Step 3: Substitute and solve for coefficients. --- 5. **Solve system using variation of parameters:** $$\mathbf{x}' = \begin{bmatrix}1 & -1 \\ 2 & -2\end{bmatrix} \mathbf{x} + \begin{bmatrix}\tan t \\ \sec t\end{bmatrix}, \quad t \in (-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2})$$ Step 1: Solve homogeneous system $\mathbf{x}' = A \mathbf{x}$. Step 2: Find fundamental matrix $\Phi(t)$. Step 3: Compute particular solution: $$\mathbf{x}_p = \Phi(t) \int \Phi^{-1}(t) \mathbf{g}(t) dt$$ Step 4: Add homogeneous and particular solutions. --- 6. **Find Laplace transform:** $$x(t) = t e^{e^t} \cos(2t)$$ Step 1: Use definition: $$\mathcal{L}\{x(t)\} = \int_0^{\infty} e^{-st} t e^{e^t} \cos(2t) dt$$ Step 2: This integral is complex and may require series expansion or numerical methods. --- 7. **Find Laplace transform using second shifting property:** $$f(t) = \begin{cases} 0, & 0 \leq t < 1 \\ (t-1)^2, & 1 \leq t < 3 \\ e^{2(t-3)}, & t \geq 3 \end{cases}$$ Step 1: Express $f(t)$ using unit step functions. Step 2: Apply second shifting theorem: $$\mathcal{L}\{u_c(t) g(t-c)\} = e^{-cs} G(s)$$ Step 3: Compute Laplace transforms of each piece. --- 8. **Find inverse Laplace transform:** $$F(s) = \frac{6(s-1)}{[(s-1)^2 + 4]^2}$$ Step 1: Recognize form related to derivatives of transforms involving sine and cosine. Step 2: Use known inverse transforms and differentiation property. --- 9. **Find inverse Laplace transform using second shifting property:** $$G(s) = \frac{2 e^{-s}}{s^3} + e^{-3s} \left[ \frac{1}{s-2} - \left( \frac{2}{s^3} + \frac{4}{s^2} + \frac{4}{s} \right) \right]$$ Step 1: Use linearity and second shifting theorem.
