Write down an augmented matrix in reduced form corresponding to
a system with 3 equations and 5 variables which has infinitely many
solutions and 2 free variables.
Write down an augmented matrix in reduced form corresponding to
a system with 4 equations and 5 variables which has no solutions
and 2 free variables.
Set up the augmented matrix that describes the situation, and
solve for the desired solution.
A bag of mixed nuts contains cashews, pistachios, and almonds.
Originally there were 850 nuts in the bag. 30% of the almonds, 20%
of the cashews, and 10% of the pistachios were eaten, and now there
are 715 nuts left in the bag. Originally, there were 50 more
cashews than almonds. Figure out how many of each type of nut was
in the bag, to...
show all workings please. TIA
1) a) Write down the augmented matrix for the following system
of linear equations and solve the system.
3x1 − 7x2 + 4x3 = 10
−x1 − 2x2 + 3x3 = 1
x1 + x2 + 2x3 = 8
b) Jason invested $30 000, splitting it between the three
companies Acorn Industries, Balderdash Bank and Chester Challenge.
The interest rates were respectively 5%, 6% and 7% per annum. The
total annual income (i.e. the sum...
Give an example of an augmented matrix in echelon form
corresponding to a system of 2 equations in three unknowns
satisfying each of the following conditions or explain why it is
not possible.
(a) No solutions
(b) One unique solution
(c) Infinitely many solutions.
1. For both systems below form the augmented matrix, reduce
the augmented matrix to echelon form
(zeros below the diagonal), and give the solution to the
system.
(a) x – 2y + z = 0; 2x + 3y – z = 16; 3x – y – 3z = 23.
(b) 2x – 3y + z = -3; x + 2y – 5z = -29; 3x – y + 2z =
-2
(3) Write elimination matrix representing each step in
elimination process. ( not augmented matrix)
(a)
2x + y − z = 3
x + 3y − z = 6
3x − y + 7z = 8
b)
x+y−z−t=0
x + y + 2z − t = 3
2x + 2y + z + 3t = 13
x + 2y + 5z − 7t = 3
