If \(a_{22}=0\) in a 2x2 system, what happens when applying the update formula to the second unknown?
Choose one option.
Show answer
- A. Division by zero appears
Explanation
Dividing by \(a_{22}\) equal to zero makes the formula undefined, so the method cannot be applied directly.
Review the concept: Jacobi and Gauss-Seidel methods
The Jacobi and Gauss-Seidel methods are iterative procedures that approximate the solution of a linear system \(A\mathbf{x}=\mathbf{b}\) by repeatedly updating its components.
\[x_i^{(k+1)}=\frac{1}{a_{ii}}\left(b_i-\sum_{j\neq i}a_{ij}x_j^{(k)}\right)\]
