0 5 6 2 5 6 8 7 2 3 1 1
, , and .
−1 2 4 3 9 10 11 12 0 2 0 0
1 2 −1 2 13 14 15 16 5 −5 5 5
3. Solve the following two systems of linear equations, both of them have the same matrix
of coefficients:
x1 − x2 + 3x3 = b1 , 2x1 − x2 + 4x3 = b2 , −x1 + 2x2 − 4x3 = b3 ,
for [b1 , b2 , b3 ]t = [0, 1, 2]t , and [3, 3, −4]t .
4. Solve the following systems of equations using Gaussian elimination method as well as
Gauss-Jordan elimination method, whenever they are consistent:
(a) x + y + z = 3, x − y − z = −1, 4x + 4y + z = 9;
(b) −x + y + z + w = 0, x − y + z + w = 0, −x + y + 3z + 3w = 0, x − y + 5z + 5w = 0;
(c) x + y + 2z = 3, −x − 3y + 4z = 2, −x − 5y + 10z = 11;
(d) 2w + 3x − y + 4z = 0, 3w − x + z = 1, 3w − 4x + y − z = 2.
5. For what values of λ ∈ R and k ∈ R, the following systems of equations have:
(i.) no solution,
(ii.) a unique solution,
(iii.) infinitely many solutions?
(a) x + y + z = 3, x + 2y + λz = 4, 2x + 3y + 2λz = k;
(b) x + y + 2z = 3, x + 2y + λz = 5, x + 2y + 4z = k.
Also, find the solutions whenever they exist.
6. Let A be an n × n matrix. If the system A2 x = 0 has a non-trivial solution, then show
that the system Ax = 0 also has a non-trivial solution.
