Question:

If \(\left[\begin{array}{lll}1 & 3 & 3 \\ 1 & 4 & 4 \\ 1 & 3 & 4\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{l}x \\ y \\ z\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{l}12 \\ 15 \\ 13\end{array}\right]\), then the value of \(x^2+y^2+z^2=\)

Show Hint

Write the three equations and subtract them to get z, y and then x.

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Concept
Multiply out the matrix to get \(x+3y+3z=12\), \(x+4y+4z=15\), \(x+3y+4z=13\).

Step 2: Eliminate
Third minus first: \(z=1\).
Second minus third: \(y=2\).

Step 3: Find x
\(x=12-3(2)-3(1)=3\).

Step 4: Compute
\(x^2+y^2+z^2=9+4+1=14\).

Final Answer:
The value is 14. \[ \boxed{\text{(D) }14} \]
