(a) Solve for x.

(b) Is the system ill-conditioned? Why?
(c) What is the condition number of the coefficient matrix in part (a)? Use the 1-norm
3. (a) Use MATLAB to get an exact solution S for the following linear system. (b) Use
Jacobi, Gauss-Siedel, and successive over relaxation (SOR) iteration methods ( = 1.5) to
solve the linear system. For all iterative methods, use P0 = [1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1]T as your
initial guess and perform 10 iterations. Show your results of P10. (c) Compare the speed
of convergence ||Pi- S||2 of these methods. Which method gives you the best answer after
10 iterations?
