Question 1 (5 points): Consider the system of linear equations x1 − 4x2 − x4 = −7 x2 − 2x4 = 3 x4 + 2x5 = 3 (a) Write down the c

oefficient matrix of this system. (b) Write down the augmented matrix of this system. (c) Use row operations to put the augmented matrix into reduced echelon form. Make it clear which row operations you are using. (d) Is the system consistent or inconsistent? Explain your answer.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a system of equations as

x1-4x2 - x4 = -7\\ \\x2 - 2x4 = 3 \\\\x4 + 2x5 = 3

We have 5 variables and 3 equations

a) coefficient matrix of this system is

1   -4   0   -1   0\\

0    1   0   -2   0\\

0    0   0    1    2\\

We find that x3 has no coefficient in any of the equations so we can omit x3 and write as equations for 4 variables as

1   -4     -1   0\\

0    1     -2   0\\

0    0     1    2\\

b) Augmented matrix is

1   -4     -1   0\\  7

0    1     -2   0\\ 3

0    0     1    2\\3

c) For row operations to ehelon form

we can do R1+4R2 = R1

We get

1   0   -9  0 \\  19

0   1  -2   0 \\   3

0   0   1   2  \\   3

Now let us do R1 = R1+9R3 and R2 = R2+2R3

1  0   0   0  \\ 46

0  1   0   0   \\  9

0   0  1   2   \\  3

d) We find that there are infinite solutions to  the system in parametric form, since x4 and x5 are linked with only one equation

e) x1 = 46, x2 = 9, x4+2x5 =3

Or x1 =46, x2 =9, x4 = 3-2x5, x5 = x5 is the parametric solution

What is the minimum number of students, each of whom comes from one of the 50 states, who must be enrolled in a university to gu
erik [133]

Answer:

4951 students

Step-by-step explanation:

If there was 99 students from each state, that would make the total to be:

99 * 50 = 4950

We can use the pigeon hole principle to make this the minimum number required.

The pigeon hole principle basically tells us that if you have more "pigeons" than "holes" then there must be one hole with multiple objects in it.

So, using this idea, we see that:

we need at least 1 more to ensure this

So, min number required would be

4950 + 1 = 4951
