1. Let A = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 10]]. Use elementary transformations to determine the rank of A
and find a basis for its row space.
2. Given the elementary row operation 'R2 -> R2 - 2*R1' on a 3x3 identity matrix I, write down the
corresponding elementary matrix E and verify that E * A performs the same row operation on a
generic matrix A.
3. Use the Gauss-Jordan method with elementary transformations to find the inverse of the matrix B
= [[2, 1, 0], [1, 2, 1], [0, 1, 2]], if it exists.
4. Find the row-reduced echelon form (normal form) of the matrix C = [[2, 4, -2, 2], [4, 9, -3, 8], [-2,
-3, 7, 1]] and state its rank.
5. Determine whether the vectors v1 = (1, 2, 3, 4), v2 = (2, 4, 6, 8), v3 = (1, 0, -1, 2) in R^4 are
linearly independent. If they are dependent, express one vector as a linear combination of the
others.
6. Solve the exact differential equation: (2xy + y^2) dx + (x^2 + 2xy) dy = 0. Verify exactness and
find the general solution.
7. Solve the first-order linear differential equation: dy/dx + (2/x) y = sin(x) / x^2, for x > 0. Find the
general solution.
8. Solve the Bernoulli equation: dy/dx + y = y^2 * e^x. Transform it into a linear equation and find the
general solution.
9. Solve the Cauchy-Euler (Euler) differential equation: x^2 d^2y/dx^2 - 3x dy/dx + 4y = 0 for x > 0.
Find the general solution.
