You Try It!
1.  Find the solution to the set of equations
3x + 5y + 2z + 3w = 9
4x + 7y + 5z + w = 19
3x + 6y + 2z + 2w = 3
x + 9y 8z + 13w = 29
eqn1:=3*x+5*y+2*z+3*w=9;
eqn2:=4*x+7*y+5*z+w=19;
eqn3:=3*x+6*y+2*z+2*w=3;
eqn4:=x+9*y+8*z+13*w=29;
answer:=solve({eqn1.eqn2,eqn3,eqn4},{x,y,z,w}):
evalf(answer);
2.  Sketch the graph of the two equations
and
. Use Maple to find the intersection points.
restart:
with(plots):
f1:=implicitplot(x^2+y^2=9,x=-3..3,y=-3..3,numpoints=1000,color=blue,scaling=constrained):
f2:=implicitplot(x^2/16+y^2=1,x=-4..4,y=-1..1,color=red,scaling=constrained):
display(f1,f2);

3.  Use the method of Gauss-Jordan elimination to solve problem (1).
with(linalg):
A:=array([[3,5,2,3,9],[4,7,5,1,19],[3,6,2,2,3],[1,9,8,13,29]]);
for i from 1 to 4 do
gaussjord(A,i)
od;
So from this we get the solution to be:
