Linear Algebra Problem: Determine if the given statements are True or False. Justify your answers (i.e., give a proof for true a

nd a counterexample for false).
(a) If a linear system has more equations than variables, then it must be inconsistent.


(b) If a linear system has free variables, then it must have infinitely many solutions.


(c) Every linear system with the same number of equations and variables has a unique solution.


(d) In every linear system with 2 equations and 3 variables x1,x2,x3, the last variable x3 is a free variable.


(e) If x1 = x2 = ··· = xn = 0 is a solution to a linear system, then the system must be homogeneous.

Answer:

a) False

b)True

c)False

d)True

e)True

Step-by-step explanation:

a) False

No it is not true for all cases

Ex

  2 x = 5 ------1

3 x =7.5 ------2

So here equation is 2 but we have a value of x=2.5.

b)True

If a linear system has free variables, then it must have infinitely many solutions.

c)False

Every linear system with the same number of equations and variables has a unique solution.This is not true for all cases.

d)True

In every linear system with 2 equations and 3 variables x1,x2,x3, the last variable x3 is a free variable.

e)True

If x1 = x2 = ··· = xn = 0 is a solution to a linear system, then the system must be homogeneous.

Write the sum using summation notation, assuming the suggested pattern continues. 1 - 3 + 9 - 27 + ...
meriva
There is no sum for this geometric series. it diverges rather than converges due to the absolute value of the common ratio (r), which is -3, being 3. for a geometric series to have a sum (to converge), the absolute value of r must be less than 1. 
(you find r by dividing a2/a1, a3/a2, etc.)
hope this helps

I need help please this is confusing
kap26 [50]

Step-by-step explanation:

slope formula when it's perpendicular : m1 × m = -1

Now Differentiate the quadratic function given.

d/dx ( x^2 - x + 1 ) at an x value of -1 from the point "(-1 , 3 )"

= 2x - 1 .... plug in the x value

= 2 × -1 - 1 = -3.

Use this equation...

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

m = slope = derivative at x = -1

y1 = value found by subbing -1 into the original function

x1 = the x value often given.

y - 3 = 1/3 (x + 1)

= 1/3x + 1/3 + 3

y = 1/3x + 10/3.

not sure about this one - it probably intersects at the x & y intercepts of the equation of the normal line.

y = 0 + 10/3 = 10/3

1/3x = 0 - 10/3

x = -10/3 / 1/3 = -10

so the point .... (-10 , 10/3)
