The position equation is v and the values are
.
By substituting the above three values of t and s into the position of equation, you can obtain three linear equations in .
When t = 1:
When t = 2:
When t = 3: .
The system of linear equations are
\ (Equation 1)
(Equation 2)
(Equation 3)
The leading of coefficient of the first equation is one, you can begin by saving the a at the upper left and eliminating the other a - terms from the first column.So, adding negative two times the first equation to the second equation produces a new second equation.
\So, the new system of equations are
\ (Equation 1)
(Equation 2)
(Equation 3)
Adding negative nine times the first equation to the third equation produces a new third equation.
\So, the new system of equations are
\ (Equation 1)
(Equation 2)
(Equation 3)
Adding 6 times the second equation to the third equation produces a new third equation.
\So, the new system of equations are
\ (Equation 1)
(Equation 2)
(Equation 3)
Multiplying the second equation by produces a new second equation and multiplying the third equation by
produces a new third equation.
So, the new system of equations are
\ (Equation 1)
(Equation 2)
(Equation 3)
By back - substituting into equation 2, you can solve for
, as follows:
(Write equation 2)
(Substitute
)
(Simplify)
By back - substituting into equation 1, you can solve for a, as follows:
(Write equation 1)
(Substitute
)
(Simplify)
(Subtract 96 from each side)
The solution in ordered triple form is .
The above solution substitute in a position equation of
\.
The position equation is .
