1.1 Linear systems and Gaussian elimination Solution 1.1 The coefficient matrix A and the augmented matrix ðAjbÞ are: 7 2 4 7 2 , ðAjbÞ ¼ a) A ¼ 4 4 7 4 4 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 b) A ¼ @ 1 1 1 2 A, ðAjbÞ ¼ @ 1 1 1 2 3 A 1 4 7 3 1 4 7 3 14 Solution 1.2 The linear systems are: a) 2x þ y ¼7 x þ 3y þ 4z ¼ 5 5x 4y þ 2z ¼ 13 b) x þ y þ z ¼ 7 x þ 2y þ 4z ¼ 12 x þ 3y þ 9z ¼ 19 c) x þ y z þ w ¼ 12 2x 3y þ 4z þ 7w ¼ 10 Solution 1.3 We first use substitution to solve the system. The first equation gives x ¼ 7 y z. We substitute this expression in the last two equations, and this gives the equations y þ 3z ¼ 5, 2y þ 8z ¼ 12 Next we solve the first of these new equations for y, and get y ¼ 5 3z. When we substitute this in the second equation, we get 2ð5 3zÞ þ 8z ¼ 12, or 2z ¼ 2. This means that z ¼ 1, that y ¼ 5 3ð1Þ ¼ 2, and that x ¼ 7 2 1 ¼ 4. The system has one solution ðx, y, zÞ ¼ ð4, 2, 1Þ.

Then we solve the system by Gaussian elimination. We write down the augmented matrix and use the Gaussian process 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 7 1 1 1 7 1 1 1 7 @ 1 2 4 12 A ! @ 0 1 3 5 A ! @ 0 1 3 5 A 0 0 2 2 1 3 9 19 0 2 8 12 This is an echelon form, and back substitution gives 2z ¼ 2, or z ¼ 1 in the last equation, y þ 3z ¼ 5, or y ¼ 5 3ð1Þ ¼ 2 in the second equation and x þ y þ z ¼ 7, or x ¼ 7 2 1 ¼ 4 in the first equation. Hence we find one solution ðx, y, zÞ ¼ ð4, 2, 1Þ also with Gaussian elimination. Solution 1.4 We solve the system by Gaussian elimination, and mark the pivots: a) We use the Gaussian process 4 6 4 4 2 1 1 1

We find an echelon form, and we see from the pivot positions that there is one free variable, and infinitely many solutions. The free variable is z, and back substitution gives 2y ¼ 3 3z, or y ¼ 3=2 3z=2 in the second equation, and 4x ¼ 4 6y 4z ¼ 4 6ð3=2 3z=2Þ 4z ¼ 5 þ 5z, or x ¼ 5=4 5z=4 in the first equation. The solutions are ðx, y, zÞ ¼ ð5=4 5z=4, 3=2 3z=2, zÞ with z free. b) We use the Gaussian process 1 0 6 1 7 @ 3 1 4 A ! 6 2 1

We find an echelon form, and since there is a pivot in the last column, there are no solutions. Solution 1.5 We solve the linear systems by Gaussian elimination, and give a geometric description of the solutions: a) The linear system 3x 4y ¼ 6 is already in echelon form, with augmented matrix ð 3 4 j 6 Þ. It has infinitely many solutions, since x is a basic variable and y is free, and we have that 3x ¼ 4y þ 6, which means that x ¼ 4y=3 þ 2. The set of solutions is V ¼ fð4y=3 þ 2, yÞ : y free g. This is a line in R2 .

We have that 3y þ z ¼ 5, which gives y ¼ 5=3 þ z=3, and x þ y þ z ¼ 4, which gives x ¼ 4 ð5=3 þ z=3Þ z ¼ 7=3 4z=3. The set of solutions can be written V ¼ fð7=3 4z=3, 5=3 þ z=3, zÞ : z free g. This is a line in R3 . c) We use a Gaussian process to obtain an echelon form of the system, and get 6 3 12 9 2 1 4 3 6 3 12 9 ! ! 6 4 2 2 3 2 1 1 0 7 14 7 The system has infinitely many solutions, since x and y are basic variables and z is free. We have that 7y þ 14z ¼ 7, which gives y ¼ 1 þ 2z, and 6x þ 3y 12z ¼ 9, which gives 6x ¼ 9 3ð1 þ 2zÞ þ 12z ¼ 6 þ 6z, or x ¼ 1 þ z. The set of solutions is V ¼ fð1 þ z, 1 þ 2z; zÞ : z free g. This is a line in R3 . Solution 1.6 We solve the linear systems by Gaussian elimination and give a geometric description of the solutions for each value of h: a) The linear system hx hy ¼ 3 is already in echelon form, with augmented matrix ð h h j 3 Þ. If h ¼ 0, then there is a pivot in the last column, and there are no solutions. If h 6¼ 0, then there is a pivot in the x-column, and there are infinitely many solutions since x is a basic variable and y is free. In this case, we have that hx ¼ hy þ 3, which means that x ¼ y þ 3=h. The set of solutions is V ¼ fðy þ 3=h; yÞ : y free g. This is a line in R2 for each h 6¼ 0. b) We use a Gaussian process to obtain an echelon form of the system, and get h 1 2 h 1 2 ! 3 6 12 0 0 12 3h There is a pivot in the x-column, and if 12 3h 6¼ 0, then there is a pivot in the last column. This means that if h 6¼ 4, there are no solutions. If h ¼ 4, then there are infinitely many solutions, since x is a basic variable and y is free. We have that x þ 2y ¼ h with h ¼ 4, which gives x ¼ 4 2y. The set of solutions is V ¼ fð4 2y, yÞ : y free g. This is a line in R2 for h ¼ 4.

c) We use a Gaussian process to obtain an echelon form of the system, and get 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 @ 2 1 2 A ! @ 0 3 1 2A 1 3 4 A ! @ 0 3 0 6 2 h 1 0 0 0 hþ3 1 7 1 h There are pivots in the x- and y-columns, and a pivot in the last column if h þ 3 6¼ 0. This means that if h 6¼ 3, there are no solutions. If h ¼ 3, then there are infinitely many solutions, since x and y are basic variables and z is free. We have that 3y þ z ¼ 2, which gives 3y ¼ 2 z, or y ¼ z=3 2=3, and x þ y þ z ¼ 1, which gives x ¼ 1 ðz=3 2=3Þ z ¼ 5=3 4z=3. The set of solutions can be written V ¼ fð5=3 4z=3, z=3 2=3, zÞ : z free g. This is a line in R3 for h ¼ 3. Solution 1.7 We first use a Gaussian process that gives an echelon form of the matrix: 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 3 1 1 1 3 1 1 1 3 @1 2 4 7A ! @0 1 3 4A ! @0 1 3 4A 0 2 8 10 0 0 2 2 1 3 9 13 The pivot positions are marked in blue. Then we multiply the last row with 1=2 (or divide by 2) to get all pivots equal to one, and continue the Gaussian process to obtain a reduced echelon form: 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 3 1 1 0 2 1 0 0 1 @0 1 3 4A ! @0 1 0 1A ! @0 1 0 1A 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 This is a reduced echelon form, with all pivots equal to 1 and all entries over pivots equal to zero. Note that to get zeros over a pivot, we use the pivot in the same column, and we start with the last variable column and move towards the first. Solution pivots in 0 1 1 @ 2 1 1 4

1.8 We use a Gaussian process to find an echelon form, and mark the blue: 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 5 1 1 5 1 1 1 1 5 2 1 11 A ! @ 0 3 0 3 1 A ! @ 0 3 0 3 1 A 0 3 0 4 2 1 5 7 0 0 0 1 3

We see that there are infinitely many solutions, since x, y and w are basic and z is a free variable. We get w ¼ 3, 3y 3w ¼ 1, which gives 3y ¼ 1 þ 3ð3Þ ¼ 10, or y ¼ 10=3, and x þ y þ z þ w ¼ 5, which gives x ¼ 5 ð 10=3Þ z ð3Þ ¼ 16=3 z. The set of solutions is V ¼ fð16=3 z, 10=3, z, 3Þ : z free g.

1.1 Linear systems and Gaussian elimination

Solution 1.9 We consider the various possible pivot positions of the 4 4 linear system, where the first three equations are the same as in the previous problem. For each case that it is possible to obtain, we give an example of a non-degenerate equation ax þ by þ cz þ dw ¼ e that give the required number of solutions: a) There is one solution if we choose the equation z ¼ 1, since this would give the following echelon form when we switch the last two rows: 1 0 1 1 1 1 5 B 0 3 0 3 1 C C B @0 0 1 0 1 A 0 0 0 1 3 b) There are infinitely many solutions with one degree of freedom if we choose the equation 4x þ 4y þ 4z þ 5w ¼ 23 (the sum of the first three equations), since we would obtain the echelon form 1 0 1 1 1 1 5 B 0 3 0 3 1 C C B @0 0 0 1 3 A 0 0 0 0 0 c) There are no solutions if we choose the equation 4x þ 4y þ 4z þ 5w ¼ 0, since we would obtain the echelon form 1 0 1 1 1 1 5 B 0 3 0 3 1 C C B @0 0 0 1 3 A 0 0 0 0 23 d) Since the echelon form in the previous problem had three pivot positions, the augmented matrix of the 4 4 linear system has at least three pivot positions. It is therefore not possible to have infinitely many solutions with two degrees of freedom (this would mean that there are just two pivots).

1.1 Linear systems and Gaussian elimination

Solution 1.11 We use Gaussian elimination, and obtain the following echelon form of the augmented matrix: 1 0 1 0 1 0 3 3 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 3 @2 3 a bA ! @0 1 a 2 b 6 A ! @ 0 1 a 2 b 6 A 4 B 0 a 1 0 0 0 A 1 a 1 7 We have used the symbols A ¼ ða 2Þða 1Þ and B ¼ 4 ða 1Þðb 6Þ to write the echelon form in a more compact way. If A 6¼ 0, then there are pivots in all variable columns, and there is one solution. If A ¼ 0 and B 6¼ 0 there is a pivot in the last column, and there are no solutions. If A ¼ B ¼ 0 then there are infinitely many solutions, and one degree of freedom. We have that A ¼ 0 for a ¼ 1 and a ¼ 2, and A ¼ B ¼ 0 for a ¼ 2 and b ¼ 10. Therefore we have one solution if a 6¼ 1 and a 6¼ 2, infinitely many solutions (with one degree of freedom) if a ¼ 2 and b ¼ 10, and no solutions in all other cases. Solution 1.12 We use Gaussian elimination to solve the system, and find the following echelon form of the augmented matrix: 1 7 7 3 1 1 7 7 3 1 ! 1 6 6 4 2 0 1 1 1 1 We see that there are infinitely many solutions, with z and w as free variables. We solve for the basic variables x and y using back substitution: The last equation is y þ z þ w ¼ 1, w h i c h g i v e s y ¼ z þ w 1. T h e f i r s t eq u a t i o n i s x þ 7y 7z þ 3w ¼ 1, a n d t h i s g i v e s x ¼ 1 7ðz þ w 1Þ þ 7z 3w ¼ 8 10w. We can therefore express the basic variables in terms of the free as x ¼ 8 10w y ¼ 1 þ z þ w Solution 1.13 The system is homogeneous, therefore there are solutions, and the number of degrees of freedom is given by n rkðAÞ ¼ 4 rkðAÞ, where A is the 3 4 coefficient matrix. Since there are three rows, we have that rkðAÞ 3, and therefore there is at least one free variable. This means that there are infinitely many solutions, and therefore non-trivial solutions.

If p 6¼ 1, we continue the Gaussian process by dividing the second row by p 1, or multiplying it by 1=ðp 1Þ 6¼ 0. This gives an echelon form 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 @0 1 p þ 1 A ! @0 1 p þ 1A 0 q 1 q2 1 0 0 P where we use the symbol P ¼ q2 1 ðp þ 1Þðq 1Þ to write the echelon form in a more compact way. Since P ¼ ðq 1Þðq þ 1Þ ðp þ 1Þðq 1Þ ¼ ðq 1Þðq pÞ, we have two pivot positions if q ¼ 1 or q ¼ p, and three pivot positions otherwise. This means that 8 < 1, p ¼ q ¼ 1 rkðAÞ ¼ 2, p ¼ 1, q 6¼ 1 or q ¼ 1, p 6¼ 1 or p ¼ q 6¼ 1 : 3, otherwise Solution 1.15 We use Gaussian elimination to compute the rank of the matrix: a) We find an 0 2 @4 6

If t ¼ 2, we have an echelon form with two pivots, and if t ¼ 1, we have an echelon form with one pivot. It follows that 0 1 8 1 1 t < 1, t ¼ 1 rk @ 1 t 1 A ¼ 2, t ¼ 2 : t 1 1 3, t 6¼ 1, 2

It follows that for all values of t, 0 1 1 3 1 4 rk @ 2 4 0 6A ¼ 3 t 1 5 3 c) For any t, we have the Gaussian process: 0 1 0 1 2 3 2 1 @ 2 1 A @ 1 3 ! 0 1 t tþ1 9 0 0 1 @ ! 0 0 0 1 @ 0 ! 0

We notice that 7ð7 tÞ=5 ¼ 0 for t ¼ 7, so for t 6¼ 7, we have an echelon form with three pivots, and for t ¼ 7, we have an echelon form with two pivots. It follows that 0 1 1 3 1 4 2, t ¼ 7 @ A rk 2 4 0 6 ¼ 3, t 6¼ 7 t 1 5 3

1.2 Vectors and vector spaces

Solution 1.17 No, it is not true, and here is counter-example: Consider the 2 3 matrices A and B, given by 1 0 1 1 0 0 , B¼ A¼ 0 1 1 0 1 0 We see that A and B have the same pivot positions ð1, 1Þ and ð2, 2Þ marked in blue, but A and B are not row equivalent: If we apply any elementary row operations to B, the third column would remain a zero column. Hence it is not possible to get from B to A using elementary row operations.

1.2 Vectors and vector spaces Solution 2.1 The vectors are shown in the figure below. In coordinates, we have that u þ v ¼ ð5, 2Þ, u w ¼ ð3, 1Þ, and 2w ¼ ð4, 4Þ. y 4 3 2 w –4
