Homework for LINEAR SYSTEMS

1. Solving Systems of Linear Equations

• solve a linear system,
• convert a linear system to a vector equation and a matrix equation,
• put a matrix in row echelon form,
• classify a linear system by its solution set:
  • Consistent with unique solution
  • Consistent with infinitely many solutions
  • Inconsistent (no solutions)
• express a solution set in vector form

• Examples:
  • From http://linear.ups.edu/html/section-SSLE.html , read Example TTS, Example US, and Example IS.
  • From http://linear.ups.edu/html/section-RREF.html , read Example USR.
  • Read LA2suppEX1.pdf. Note: In example 2, basic variable is another term for dependent variable.
• Homework:
  • From http://linear.ups.edu/html/section-SSLE.html , do Exercises SSLE.C30, SSLE.C31, SSLE.C32, SSLE.C33, and SSLE.C34.
  • Do LA2suppHW1.pdf. Note: In the instructions, parametric form is another term for vector form.
