Question

why is it easier to use the gaussian elimination method than cramer's rule when solving linear systems

Answer 1

Any ideas?

Answer 2

What do you mean by "easier"?

Answer 3

i know that it is a simpler to find the variables this way

Answer 4

you can use backsubstitution

Answer 5

it is better than cramer's rule when you have bigger matrixes, its homework question

Answer 6

Yes, Gauss was a master at solving problems by using the FEWEST steps possible.

Answer 7

cramer definitely uses more steps and gets more complicated with bigger matrixes

Answer 8

Unfortunately, he also used the fewest words possible in this work.

Answer 9

yes not enough explanation

Answer 10

But he is, historically considered the greatest mathematician.

Answer 11

is that true?

Answer 12

Sometimes, Cramer's rule must be applied to solve the problem. It is more difficult because it need the augmented matrix must be a square one and its determinant \(\neq\) 0. While Gaussian can apply to any of them.

Answer 13

thank you ooops
