Consider the transpose of Your matrix A, that is, the matrix whose first column is the first row of A, the second column is the

second row of A, etc. Let B be this new matrix. How many solutions does the system Bx = 0 have? Explain Your reasoning.

Answer:The system could have no solution or n number of solution where n is the number of unknown in the n linear equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if solution exist or not, you test the equation for consistency.

A system is said to be consistent if the rank of a matrix (say B ) is equal to the rank of the matrix formed by adding the constant terms(in this case the zeros) as a third column to the matrix B.

Consider the following scenarios:

(1) For example:Given the matrix A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2\\3&4\end{array}\right], to transpose A, exchange rows with columns i.e take first column as first row and second column as second row as follows:

Let A transpose be B.

∵B=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&3\\2&4\end{array}\right]

the system Bx=0 can be represented in matrix form as:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&3\\2&4\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x_{1} \\x_{2} \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0\\0\end{array}\right] ................................eq(1)

Now, to determine the rank of B, we work the determinant of the maximum sub-square matrix of B. In this case, B is a 2 x 2 matrix, therefore, the maximum sub-square matrix of B is itself B. Hence,

|B|=(1*4)-(3*2)= 4-6 = -2 i.e, B is a non-singular matrix with rank of order (-2).

Again, adding the constant terms of equation 1(in this case zeros) as a third column to B, we have B_{0}:      

B_{0}=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&3&0\\4&2&0\end{array}\right]. The rank of B_{0} can be found by using the second column and third column pair as follows:

|B_{0}|=(3*0)-(0*2)=0 i.e, B_{0} is a singular matrix with rank of order 1.

Note: a matrix is singular if its determinant is = 0 and non-singular if it is \neq0.

Comparing the rank of both B and B_{0}, it is obvious that

Rank of B\neqRank of B_{0} since (-2)<1.

Therefore, we can conclude that equation(1) is <em>inconsistent and thus has no solution.     </em>

(2) If B=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4&5\\-8&10&\end{array}\right] is the transpose of matrix A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4&-8\\5&10\end{array}\right], then

Then the equation Bx=0 is represented as:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4&5\\-8&10&\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x_{1} \\x_{2} \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0\\0\end{array}\right]..................................eq(2)

|B|= (-4*10)-(5*(-8))= -40+40 = 0  i.e B has a rank of order 1.

B_{0}=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4&5&0\\-8&10&0\end{array}\right],

|B_{0}|=(5*0)-(0*10)=0-0=0   i.e B_{0} has a rank of order 1.

we can therefor conclude that since

rank B=rank B_{0}=1,  equation(2) is <em>consistent</em> and has 2 solutions for the 2 unknown (X_{1} and X_{2}).

<u>Summary:</u>

  • Given an equation Bx=0, transform the set of linear equations into matrix form as shown in equations(1 and 2).
  • Determine the rank of both the coefficients matrix B and B_{0} which is formed by adding a column with the constant elements of the equation to the coefficient matrix.
  • If the rank of both matrix is same, then the equation is consistent and there exists n number of solutions(n is based on the number of unknown) but if they are not equal, then the equation is not consistent and there is no number of solution.

A certain​ country's postal service currently uses 55​-digit zip codes in most areas. how many zip codes are possible if there a
VashaNatasha [74]
There would be 100,000 if there are no restrictions on the digits and 90,000 if they cannot use 0 as the first digit.

If there are no restrictions, there are 10 possibilities for each digit:
10(10)(10)(10)(10) = 100,000

If the first digit cannot be 0, there are 9 possibilities for it and 10 possibilities for each of the other 4:
9(10)(10)(10)(10) = 90,000

Martin works at bluebell ice cream parlor.He earns $87.50 for every 7 hours of work.Based on this information how much money wou
faust18 [17]

Martin will earn $350 for 28 hours of work.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Amount earned in 7 hours = $87.50

Ratio of time to amount earned = 7:87.50

Let,

x be the amount earned in 28 hours.

Ratio of time to amount earned = 28:x

Using proportion;

Ratio of time to amount earned :: Ratio of time to amount earned

7:87.50::28:x\\

Product of mean = Product of extreme

7*x=87.50*28\\7x=2450

Dividing both sides by 7

\frac{7x}{7}=\frac{2450}{7}\\x=350

Martin will earn $350 for 28 hours of work.

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

The probability that the message will be wrong when decoded is 0.05792

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

To reduce the chance or error, we transmit 00000 instead of 0 and 11111 instead of 1.

We have 5 bits, message will be corrupt if at least 3 bits are incorrect for the same block.

The digit transmitted is incorrectly received with probability p = 0.2

The probability of receiving a digit correctly is q = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8

We want the probability that the message will be wrong when decoded.

This can be written as:

P(X\geq3) =P(X=3)+P(X=4)+P(X=5)\\P(X\geq3) =\frac{5!}{3!2!}(0.2)^3(0.8)^{2}+\frac{5!}{4!1!}(0.2)^4(0.8)^{1}+\frac{5!}{5!}(0.2)^5(0.8)^0\\P(X\geq3) =0.05792

Hence, the probability that the message will be wrong when decoded is 0.05792

Leona [35]

Answer:

A' =(-y,x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent point A as thus;

A = (x,y)

Required

Determine the new position of A, when rotated counterclockwise

The new position will be denoted as A'

When a point is rotated counterclockwise, we start by switching the positions of x and y as follows:

Pos = (y,x)

Then, y is negated to give A'

A' =(-y,x)
