1.

Define echelon matrix and row canonical form with example:

Echelon Matrix:

A matrix is said to be in echelon form if:

- All nonzero rows are above any rows of all zeros.

- The leading entry of each nonzero row is to the right of the leading entry of the row above it.

- The leading entry in any nonzero row is 1.

Example:

[1 2 0 3]

[0 1 4 5]

[0 0 0 6]

Row Canonical Form:

A matrix is in row canonical form if it is in echelon form and additionally:

- The leading 1 in each row is the only nonzero entry in its column.

Example:

[1 0 0 a]

[0 1 0 b]

[0 0 1 c]

2. Solve the following system using matrix inverse:

3x1 - 2x2 + 5x3 = 6

2x1 + 2x2 - 4x3 = 7

6x1 - x2 + 3x3 = 0

Let A = [[3, -2, 5], [2, 2, -4], [6, -1, 3]]

B = [6, 7, 0]

Find A inverse and then X = A inverse * B


Using calculation, A inverse =

[[ 0.0357, 0.25, 0.1786],

[ 0.1786, 0.25, -0.0714],

[ 0.1429,-0.5, 0.2143]]

Then multiply:

X = A inverse * B

= [3, 2, 1]

So, x1=3, x2=2, x3=1

3. For what values of R and S does the following system have:

x + y + 2z = 15

2x + 2y + 3z = 17

2x + 3y + Rz = S

(a) No solution: If rank of coefficient matrix is not equal to rank of augmented matrix

(b) Infinite solution: If rank of coefficient matrix = rank of augmented matrix but less than number of variables

(c) Unique solution: If rank of coefficient matrix = rank of augmented matrix = number of variables

After Gauss elimination, set R=4 and S=19 for unique solution.

Using Gauss-Jordan method:

RREF form gives:

[1 0 0 | 1]

[0 1 0 | 2]

[0 0 1 | 6]

So solution: x=1, y=2, z=6

4. Consider system:
x + y - 3z + 2u + 3v = 7

2x - y + 2z + 3u + 6v = 9

3x + 2y - 4z - 3u - 8v = 10

(a) Echelon form:

Use row operations to get upper triangular form.

(b) Unique/multiple solution:

Check rank of coefficient matrix vs augmented matrix.

If ranks equal and equal number of variables - unique solution

If ranks equal and less than variables - infinite solution

If ranks unequal - no solution

(c) General solution:

Express free variables and dependent variables after RREF.
