Solve for Ex and Ey using these two formulas: 1.2-Ex(0.6)+2Ey = 0 and 2Ey-Ex(0.6) = 1.2
Please show all the steps.
NOTE: The correct answer for Ex should be 4.25 and Ey should be 1.875. I want to see how they derive the two values.
The given linear equations are 1.2-Ex (0.6)+2Ey = 0 or, 0.6Ex -2Ey = -1.2…(1) and 2Ey-Ex(0.6) = 1.2 or, 0.6Ex -2Ey = -1.2..(2)
Thus, the 2nd equation is same as the 1st equation so that we have only 1 equation in 2 unknowns. Therefore, there will be infinite solutions which can be determined as under:
0.6Ex -2Ey = -1.2 or, Ex = -(1.2/0.6) +(2/0.6)Ey = -2+(2/0.6)Ey. Therefore, (Ex , Ey) = (-2+(2/0.6)Ey ,Ey) = (-2,0) + (1/0.6)Ey ( 2, 0.6) = (-2,0) +t( 2, 0.6), where t = + (1/0.6)Ey is an arbitrary real number.
Thus, every solution to the given equation(s ) is a linear combination of the vectors (-2,0) and ( 2, 0.6).
