Solve for the Inverse Matrix Elementary Row Operations.

4. Given the system

6 x1 +4 x2 − 18 x3 − 4 x4 = −155
9 x1 − x2 + x3 +2 x4 = 3
6x1 − 2 x2 − 3 x3 +16 x4 = −44

a. Solve all x values using Cramer’s Rule.
b. Solve all x values using Gaussian Elemination.
c. Solve all x values using Doolittle’s Method.
d. If possible, compare the methods of Jacobi and Gauss-Seidel in getting the values of x. Start
with initial values x1 = x2 = 0, x3 = x4 = 1. Use xpresent – xprevious≤ 0.00005 as your stopping
criteria. Round-off x-values to 5 decimal places for every iteration.
