Consider a dynamical system with two components. The accompanying sketch shows the initial state vector and two eigenvectors of A (with eigen values respectively). For the given values of , draw a rough trajectory. Consider the future and the past of the system.

In Exercises 31, find the elementary row operation that transforms the first matrix into the second, and then find the reverse row operation that transforms the second matrix into the first.
31. \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&{ - 2}&1&0\\0&5&{ - 2}&8\\4&{ - 1}&3&{ - 6}\end{array}} \right]\), \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&{ - 2}&1&0\\0&5&{ - 2}&8\\0&7&{ - 1}&{ - 6}\end{array}} \right]\)
Determine whether the statements that follow are true or false, and justify your answer.
15: The systemisinconsistent for all matrices A.
In Exercise 23 and 24, make each statement True or False. Justify each answer.
24.
a. Any list of five real numbers is a vector in \({\mathbb{R}^5}\).
b. The vector \({\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} \) results when a vector \({\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} - v\) is added to the vector \({\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} \).
c. The weights \({{\mathop{\rm c}\nolimits} _1},...,{c_p}\) in a linear combination \({c_1}{v_1} + \cdot \cdot \cdot + {c_p}{v_p}\) cannot all be zero.
d. When are \({\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} \) nonzero vectors, Span \(\left\{ {u,v} \right\}\) contains the line through \({\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} \) and the origin.
e. Asking whether the linear system corresponding to an augmented matrix \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{{\rm{a}}_{\rm{1}}}}&{{{\rm{a}}_{\rm{2}}}}&{{{\rm{a}}_{\rm{3}}}}&{\rm{b}}\end{array}} \right]\) has a solution amounts to asking whether \({\mathop{\rm b}\nolimits} \) is in Span\(\left\{ {{a_1},{a_2},{a_3}} \right\}\).
Suppose the system below is consistent for all possible values of \(f\) and \(g\). What can you say about the coefficients \(c\) and \(d\)? Justify your answer.
27. \(\begin{array}{l}{x_1} + 3{x_2} = f\\c{x_1} + d{x_2} = g\end{array}\)
