Exercise Sheet 02: Systems of linear equations

Exercise 1. Solve each system using Gauss elimination. Draw the solution as the intersecting points of the lines represented by each equation. Use the solution to express
the vector of constants as a linear combination of vectors.
a)

c)

b)
x+y=1

x 6y = 12

3x + 2(1 3y) = 4(x 2)

x y = 1

x + 2y = 6

x + y = 4(x y 3)

Exercise 2. Solve each system using Gauss elimination. Express the solution set using
vectors.
c)

b)

a)
x+z=4
x y + 2z = 5
4x y + 5z = 17

2a + b c = 2

x + 2y z = 3

2a + c = 3

2x + y = 4

ab=0

xy+z=1

Exercise 3. Express, if possible, the given vector as a linear combination of the vectors
in the given set S:
a) (2, 3), S = {(1, 4), (1, 5)}
b) (1, 0, 1), S = {(2, 1, 0), (1, 0, 1)}
c) (1, 3, 0), S = {(1, 0, 4), (2, 1, 5), (3, 3, 0), (4, 2, 1)}
d) (1, 0, 1, 1), S = {(2, 1, 0, 1), (3, 0, 0, 2)}

Exercise 4. A three-digit number has two properties: a) the tens-digit and the onesdigit add up to 5; b) if the number is written with the digits in the reverse order, and
1

then subtracted to the original number, the result is 792. Find all of the three-digit
numbers with these properties.
Exercise 5. For each of the systems in exercise 2, write the corresponding augmented
matrix and use the rank to determine the cardinality of the solution set.
Exercise 6. Write in reduced row-echelon form the matrices corresponding to the following systems, and determine their solution:
a)

b)

c)

2x + 3y z = 0

2x 3y + z = 4

x1 +2x2 +8x3 7x4 = 2

x + 2y + z = 3

2x + 6y 4z = 1

3x1 +2x2 +12x3 5x4 = 6

x + 3y + 3z = 7

x + 3y 3z = 4

x1 +x2 +x3 5x4 = 10
