i have another way xy + z + xz + y = 40 + 51 x(y+z) + y + z = 91 (x+1)(y+z) = 91, we know that y+z = 19 - x, so : (x+1)(19-x) = 91 19x - x^2 + 19 - x = 91 x^2 - 18x + 72 = 0 (x-12)(x-6) = 0 x = 12 or 6 then just plug x into the equation and we will get the same value of y and z like in the video, CMIIW :3

I started Gauss-Jordan elimination on the matrix at 5:18, got to [1 1 19-x] [0 x-1 x+32] [0 1-x x²-19x+40] and concluded that -(x+32) = x²-19+40 (to make row 2 + row 3 = 0), which gives x=6 and x=12.

Add 1st and second equation (y+z)(x+1)=91 x+1+y+z=20 Take x+1 as a and y+z as b Then ab=91 and a+b=20 So (a,b)=(13,7),(7,13) x is either 6 or 12

yep i did it in my mind in 1 minute

I combined the first two equations, did some algebra to get (x+1)(y+z)=91, used the third to replace (y+z) with (19-x), and arrived at that same quadratic. After which I promptly made a sequence of arithmetic errors solving the quadratic and then subsequently even more arithmetic errors solving the resulting system of equations. It turns out that if you fail at basic arithmetic, math is hard. :)

Adding first two gives (x+1)(y+z) = 91 Final gives (x+1)+(y+z) = 20 Solving for x+1 and y+z gives the pair (7, 13), in either order. Backsubstituting in the first eqns, et voila.

Yeah... also I did it in a very similar way but I then interpreted "x+1" and "y+z" as the zeroes of the equation z^2-20*z+91 = 0 and obtained so the two solutions suggested in the video, this problem can thus be solved quite quickly, maybe he simply wanted to intentionally apply concepts from linear algebra here, although that would not be necessary.

Your digression about the 0 determinant not always giving solutions also applies in reverse.

If I understood correctly, that's the same way I did it. If you add the first two equations, you get x(y+z) + (y+z) = 91. After that, using the 3rd equation, you get y+z = 19 - x. So, you can easily find both values ​​of x. Then, using the first two equations again (this time, as a linear system of order 2), you find y and z for both cases.

You don't need to solve the cubic, you can just say that it's easy to see that the first two rows of the 3x3 system of equations are linearly independent, therefore the third row must be expressible as a linear combination of the first two. Then looking at the left hand side, the respective coefficients must be 1/(1+x) and 1/(1+x), which yields 91/(1+x) = 19-x, x=6 or x=12.

2:32 was is a coincidence because 5y+2z=10,y+z=3 and 2y-z=1 has a solution which is (y,z)=(4/3,5/3)

I haven't heard about any of those things but it sounds cool.

In the example at 2:30, the 3rd equation is actually the 1st minus 3 times the 2nd, meaning it is also redundant

Adding the first two equations, you get (y + z)(1 + x) = 91. From the second equation: y + z = 19 - x. Substitute and get (19 - x)(1 + x) = 91. Solving for x with Bhaskara's Formula, you obtain x = 12 or x = 6, and so on.

Got 'em both!

It was great seeing an extraneous solution that didn't solve the systems of those nonlinear equations by trying to turn a 3x2 matrix multiplied by a 2x1 matrix to form a 3x1 matrix of solutions. We saw extraneous x=1 that didn't work with x=6 and x=12 that both do work as solutions in what was taught. Sometimes looking at a problem creating polynomial solutions both extraneous and good solutions get intermixed to allow us to see potentials that fail but can inter result. 👍

Suming the first two equations gives (x+1)(y+z) = 91 and the third equation gives x+1+y+z=20 thus x+1 = 10 +/- sqrt(100-91) = {13,7}. In the first case (x=12) we get (Cramer) y=(40x-51)/143=429/143=3 and z=(51-3)/12=4. In the second case (x=6) we get (Cramer) y=(6×40-51)/35=189/35=27/5 so z=40-27*6/5=38/5. So, after checking they work, the set of solutions is {(12,3,4),(6,27/5,38/5)}. EZ but tedious.

2:42 y = 4/3, z = 5/3. The third equation works just fine....

Can you make a video on how to use Weierstrass factorization theorem?

This is a beautiful problem.

Before looking at BPRP's solution: I was able to factor the information in the equations into a quadratic in terms of x, yielding two results. One case yielded a solution in the Rationals while the other yielded a solution in the Naturals, so depending on the set the variables are meant to be from, there are either one or two solutions. After watching BPRP's solution: the quadratic I obtained was the same, but the factor of (x - 1) in the cubic was a redundant solution because of the matrix multiplication. I eliminated that solution because I had used a linear transformation while I was manipulating the original equations to extract the quadratic in x. Always worth checking solutions with the original equations as well as any obtained through linear algebra manipulation to ensure they are true solutions rather than redundant (i.e contradictory) solutions.

Is there a better way to check if the solutions are valid? Or is the only alternative to testing?

We can also solve it without using determinant. For example, let us arrange these equations as xz + y = 51 ...(1), xy + z = 40 ...(2) and x + y + z = 19 ...(3). Adding (1) and (2) and factorizing, we get (x + 1)(z + y ) = 91 ... (4). Again subtracting (2) from (1), we get , on factorizing, (z - y)(x - 1) = 11 ...(5). From (3), (z + y) = 19 - x ...(6). Putting (z + x ) value in (4) , we get (x + 1)(19 - x) = 91 ... (7) solving this , we get ( x - 6)(x -12) =0, so that we have x = 6 or x = 12. Case - I, when x = 6, in (3), we we get z + y = 13 ... (7) and again putting x =6 in (5), we get (z - y) = 11/5 ... (8). From (7) and (8) we get z = (1/2)(13+11/5) = 7.6 and y = (1/2)(13 - 11/5) = 5.4. Therefore, the first solution set {x, y, z) = {6, 5.4, 7.6}. Case - II when x =12: putting this in (3) z + y = 7 ...(9). Again putting x = 12 in (5) we get z -y = 1 ...(10). From (9) and (10), we get z = (1/2)( 7 + 1) = 4 and y = (1/2)( 7 - 1) = 3. Therefore, the 2nd solution set {x, y, z) = {12, 3, 4}.

I just think of an easy way which high school can solve this. Since x +y +z = 19, z = 19 -x -y ; xy +z = 40, so xy + 19 -x -y = 40, then xy -x -y =21 … (1) xz + y = 51, so x (19 -x -y) +y = 51, then 19x -x^2 -xy +y = 51 …(2) Put (2) into (1), -x^2 +19x -xy +x +y -x =51, so -x^2 +18x -21 =51, x^2 -18x +72 = 0. We can get x = 6 or 12

I assumed that x had to control the rank of the system. I determined that the rank had to be 2, so I did Converted the equation to augmented matrix system (4 x 3) and determined the x value to ensure that one of the rows go to 0’s for rank 2. I got I think 2 values for x (I have to check I did this a long time ago) that trip this equation to a rank 2. Then solved for y a and x using cramers rule. Anyways moral of the story: I don’t think you have to get the characteristic polynomial to trip this into a diminished rank anyways.

The method above makes absolutely no sense to me. I solved the bottom equation for y: y=19-x-z Then I substituted it into the first two equations which yields the following two equations in terms of x and z: -x^2+19x-xz+z=40 -x+xz-z=32 When you add these two equations together, the z and xz terms cancel out and you're left with the quadratic: x^2-18x+72=0, so x=6 or 12. From there, it is easy to solve for y and z. (x,y,z) = (6, 27/5, 38/5) or (12, 3, 4).

0:27 I did pause and try and it quickly became overwhelming when x, y, and z have to be the same in all three equations.... So, I gave up and erased my original comment.

Dude I have similar question for you to solve x+y+z=4, xy+yz+zx= -7, xyz= -10 find x, y & z. tell me in another way or easy way for this question i try substitution but it was became very long and lengthy.

I'd stop at the matrix.... then the cubic 😅 [edit] then for sure the 7.6.... lol

I wonder if solving geometrically in 3d is any better

Very nice method, but i have a confusion like why this method work ? You get the value of x such that it make 1 equation redundant and i got that , but this doesn’t explain why such X value will be a value that satisfies the original equation with the other variables?

It won't be, but the solutions to the original problem will be in the set of the solutions of the cubic equation. So you just check the latter ones one by one. It's like when you square both sides of an equation.

Yes here is the problem, that this x value will be in the set of solutions, is there a proof for that , does this mean that this method will work for any 3*3 non linear systems such that this 3*3 systems have a unique solution in the first place ?

Its okay i watched the video again and got it

add all eqns , we get xy + z + xz + y + x + y + z = 110 xy + xz + x + 2y + 2z = 112 - 2 x(y + z + 1) + 2y + 2z + 2 = 112 x(y + z + 1) + 2(y + z + 1) = 112 (y + z + 1)(x + 2) = 112 (y + z + 1)(x + 2) = 8 * 14 x + 2 = 14, y + z + 1 = 8 x = 12..........(a), y + z = 7.........(b) given xy + z = 40 from eq(a), 12y + z = 40 11y + (y + z) = 40 from eq(b), 11y = 40 - 7 11y = 33 y= 3.........(c) also given, x + y + z = 19 from eq(a) and (c), 12 + 3 + z = 19 z = 4 (x,y,z) = (12,3,4) integer soln

I forgot that you could do the determinant of a non-square matrix
