Q1) Use parametric equations to describe the solution set of the linear equations.

a) 3u − 8w + 2x − y + 4z = 0 b) 4x1 + 2x2 + 3x3 + x 4 = 20

Q2) Solve the linear system by Gaussian elimination.

a) 2x1 + 2x2 + 2x3 = 0 b) − 2b + 3c = 1


− 2x1 + 5x2 + 2x3 = 1 3a + 6b − 3c = − 2
8x1 + x2 + 4x3 = − 1 6a + 6b + 3c = 5

Q3) Solve the given linear system by Gauss-Jordan method.

Q6) Show that if A is square such that Ak = 0 for some positive integer k, then the
matrix I − A is invertible and
−1 k−1
