Answer:
A. False
B. False
C. True
D. True
E. True
F. True
Explanation:
A. The equation Ax=b is referred to as a matrix equation and not vector equation.
B. If the augmented matrix [ A b ] has a pivot position in every row then equation Ax=b may or may not be consistent. It is inconsistent if [A b] has a pivot in the last column b and it is consistent if the matrix A has a pivot in every row.
C. In the product of Ax also called the dot product the first entry is a sum of products. For example the the product of Ax where A has [a11 a12 a13] in the first entry of each column and the corresponding entries in x are [x1 x2 x3] then the first entry in the product is the sum of products i.e. a11x1 + a12x2 +a13x3
D. If the columns of mxn matrix A span R^m, this states that every possible vector b in R^m is a linear combination of the columns which makes the equation consistent. So the equation Ax=b has at least one solution for each b in R^m.
E. It is stated that a vector equation x1a1 + x2a2 + x3a3 + ... + xnan = b has the same solution set as that of the linear system with augmented matrix [a1 a2 ... an b]. So the solution set of linear system whose augmented matrix is [a1 a2 a3 b] is the same as solution set of Ax=b if A=[a1 a2 a3] and b can be produced by linear combination of a1 a2 a3 iff the solution of linear system corresponding to [a1 a2 a3 b] takes place.
F. It is true because lets say b is a vector in R^m which is not in the span of the columns. b cannot be obtained for some x which belongs to R^m as b = Ax. So Ax=b is inconsistent for some b in R^m and has no solution.
The stiffness constant of the spring is 68,290.3 N/m
<h3>
Stiffness constant of the spring</h3>
Apply the principle of conservation of energy;
U = K.E
¹/₂kx² = ¹/₂mv²
kx² = mv²
k = mv²/x²
where;
- v is speed = 60 km/h = 16.67 m/s
- x is the distance
k = (1300 x 16.67²)/(2.3²)
k = 68,290.3 N/m
Thus, the stiffness constant of the spring is 68,290.3 N/m.
