Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(U_{i}=\left(\begin{array}{l}a_{i} \\ b_{1} \\ c_{i}\end{array}\right),\) where \(i=1,2,3\) \(\therefore \quad A U_{1}=\left(\begin{array}{lll}1 & 0 & 0 \\ 2 & 1 & 0 \\ 3 & 2 & 1\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{l}a_{1} \\ b_{1} \\ c_{1}\end{array}\right)\)…
