Answer:
X = [-5 -1 2 1] - [-1 -2 4 8] = [-4 1 -2 -7]
Answer:
Remember, a homogeneous system always is consistent. Then we can reason with the rank of the matrix.
If the system Ax=0 has only the trivial solution that's mean that the echelon form of A hasn't free variables, therefore each column of the matrix has a pivot.
Since each column has a pivot then we can form the reduced echelon form of the A, and leave each pivot as 1 and the others components of the column will be zero. This means that the reduced echelon form of A is the identity matrix and so on A is row equivalent to identity matrix.
40/11 = 3.63
