Short Answer

Expert verified

There is no solution for the system because the system is inconsistent.

Step by step solution

01

Writing the augmented matrix of the system

To express a system in theaugmented matrix form, extract the coefficients of the variables and the constants and place these entries in the column of the matrix.

The given system of equations is as follows:

\(\begin{aligned}{c}{x_1} - 3{x_2} + 4{x_3} = - 4\\3{x_1} - 7{x_2} + 7{x_3} = - 8\\ - 4{x_1} + 6{x_2} - {x_3} = 7\end{aligned}\)

So, the augmented matrix for the given system can be written as follows:

\(\left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}1&{ - 3}&4&{ - 4}\\3&{ - 7}&7&{ - 8}\\{ - 4}&6&{ - 1}&7\end{aligned}} \right)\)

02

Reduce the augmented matrix to a triangular matrix

A basic principle states that row operations do not affect the solution set of a linear system.

To eliminate the \(3{x_1}\) term from the second equation, perform an elementary row operationon the matrix \(\left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}1&{ - 3}&4&{ - 4}\\3&{ - 7}&7&{ - 8}\\{ - 4}&6&{ - 1}&7\end{aligned}} \right)\) as shown below.

Add \( - 3\) times the first row to the second row; i.e., \({R_2} \to {R_2} - 3{R_1}\).

\(\left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}1&{ - 3}&4&{ - 4}\\{3 - 3\left( 1 \right)}&{ - 7 - 3\left( { - 3} \right)}&{7 - 3\left( 4 \right)}&{ - 8 - 3\left( { - 4} \right)}\\{ - 4}&6&{ - 1}&7\end{aligned}} \right)\)

After the row operation, the matrix becomes

\(\left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}1&{ - 3}&4&{ - 4}\\0&2&{ - 5}&4\\{ - 4}&6&{ - 1}&7\end{aligned}} \right)\)

03

Apply the row operation

To eliminate the \( - 4{x_1}\) term from the third equation, perform an elementary row operation on the matrix \(\left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}1&{ - 3}&4&{ - 4}\\0&2&{ - 5}&4\\{ - 4}&6&{ - 1}&7\end{aligned}} \right)\) as shown below.

Add 4 times the first row to the third row; i.e., \({R_3} \to {R_3} + 4{R_1}\).

\(\left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}1&{ - 3}&4&{ - 4}\\0&2&{ - 5}&4\\{ - 4 + 4\left( 1 \right)}&{6 + 4\left( { - 3} \right)}&{ - 1 + 4\left( 4 \right)}&{7 + 4\left( { - 4} \right)}\end{aligned}} \right)\)

After the row operation, the matrix becomes

\(\left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}1&{ - 3}&4&{ - 4}\\0&2&{ - 5}&4\\0&{ - 6}&{15}&{ - 9}\end{aligned}} \right)\)

04

Apply the row operation

Use the \(2{x_2}\) term of the second equation to eliminate the \( - 6{x_2}\) term from the third equation. Perform an elementary row operationon the matrix \(\left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}1&{ - 3}&4&{ - 4}\\0&2&{ - 5}&4\\0&{ - 6}&{15}&{ - 9}\end{aligned}} \right)\) as shown below.

Add 3 times the second row to the third row; i.e., \({R_3} \to {R_3} + 3{R_2}\).

\(\left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}1&{ - 3}&4&{ - 4}\\0&2&{ - 5}&4\\{0 + 3\left( 0 \right)}&{ - 6 + 3\left( 2 \right)}&{15 + 3\left( { - 5} \right)}&{ - 9 + 3\left( 4 \right)}\end{aligned}} \right)\)

After the row operation, the matrix becomes

\(\left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}1&{ - 3}&4&{ - 4}\\0&2&{ - 5}&4\\0&0&0&3\end{aligned}} \right)\)

05

Convert the augmented matrix back to the system of equations

From the obtained augmented matrix, the system of equations can be written as follows:

\(\begin{aligned}{c}{x_1} - 3{x_2} + 4{x_3} = - 4\\2{x_2} - 5{x_3} = 4\\0 = 3\end{aligned}\)

The last equation \(0 = 3\) is never true. Therefore, the system of equations is inconsistent.

Hence, the solution set is empty, and the given system has no solution.

In Exercises 3 and 4, display the following vectors using arrows

on an \(xy\)-graph: u, v, \( - {\bf{v}}\), \( - 2{\bf{v}}\), u + v , u - v, and u - 2v. Notice thatis the vertex of a parallelogram whose other vertices are u, 0, and \( - {\bf{v}}\).

3. u and v as in Exercise 1

Let \({{\bf{a}}_1}\) \({{\bf{a}}_2}\), and b be the vectors in \({\mathbb{R}^{\bf{2}}}\) shown in the figure, and let \(A = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{{{\bf{a}}_1}}&{{{\bf{a}}_2}}\end{aligned}} \right)\). Does the equation \(A{\bf{x}} = {\bf{b}}\) have a solution? If so, is the solution unique? Explain.

Consider the problem of determining whether the following system of equations is consistent:

\(\begin{aligned}{c}{\bf{4}}{x_1} - {\bf{2}}{x_2} + {\bf{7}}{x_3} = - {\bf{5}}\\{\bf{8}}{x_1} - {\bf{3}}{x_2} + {\bf{10}}{x_3} = - {\bf{3}}\end{aligned}\)

  1. Define appropriate vectors, and restate the problem in terms of linear combinations. Then solve that problem.
  1. Define an appropriate matrix, and restate the problem using the phrase 鈥渃olumns of A.鈥
  1. Define an appropriate linear transformation T using the matrix in (b), and restate the problem in terms of T.

Suppose a linear transformation \(T:{\mathbb{R}^n} \to {\mathbb{R}^n}\) has the property that \(T\left( {\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} \right) = T\left( {\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} \right)\) for some pair of distinct vectors u and v in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\). Can Tmap \({\mathbb{R}^n}\) onto \({\mathbb{R}^n}\)? Why or why not?

In Exercises 11 and 12, determine if \({\rm{b}}\) is a linear combination of \({{\mathop{\rm a}\nolimits} _1},{a_2}\) and \({a_3}\).

11.\({a_1} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1\\{ - 2}\\0\end{array}} \right],{a_2} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}0\\1\\2\end{array}} \right],{a_3} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}5\\{ - 6}\\8\end{array}} \right],{\mathop{\rm b}\nolimits} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}2\\{ - 1}\\6\end{array}} \right]\)
