Apply the Gauss-Seidel method to solve the following system: 4x + y + 2z = 10, x + 3y + z = 12, 2x + y + 3z = 15. Assume initial guesses x=0, y=0, z=0. Show all iterations.
💡 Hint: Keep updating based on the latest values you find!
You are given a matrix that is not diagonally dominant. Discuss whether you would choose the Gauss-Seidel method and why.
