Question: Can someone help me solve these two questions regarding matrices? I am asked to find the general solution for the augmented matrix in the first
Can someone help me solve these two questions regarding matrices? I am asked to find the general solution for the augmented matrix in the first question, and the description for matrix b in the second question, I included an image to make it clearer. I attempted to solve them but I'm not sure of the answer.
The first question
The augmented matrix is given for a system of equations. If the system is consistent, find the general solution. Otherwise state that there is no solution.
(This is one matrix )
A= [1 -5 -1]
[0 0 7]
a)x1= -1 + 5x2
x2is free
b)(-1, 7)
c)x1= -1 + 5x2
x2= 7
x3is free
d)No solution
the second question
Let
A= [1 -3 2 ]
[-2 5 -1]
[3 -4 5]
B= [ b1]
[b2]
[b3]
(These are two matrices a and b)
Determine if the equation Ax = b is consistent for all possible b1, b2, b3. If the equation is not consistent for all possible b1, b2, b3, give a description of the set of allbfor which the equation is consistent (i.e., a condition which must be satisfied byb1, b2, b3)
a)Equation is consistent for all possible b1, b2, b3.
b)Equation is consistent for all b1, b2, b3satisfying 7b1+ 5b2+ b3= 0.
c)Equation is consistent for all b1, b2, b3satisfying -3b1+ b3= 0.
d)Equation is consistent for all b1, b2, b3satisfying 2b1+ b2= 0.
