Consider a solutionof the linear system. Justify the facts stated in parts (a) and (b):
a. Ifis a solution of the system, then is a solution of the system.
b. Ifis another solution of the system, thenis a solution of the system .
c. Now suppose A is amatrix. A solution vectorof the systemis shown in the accompanying figure. We are told that the solutions of the systemform the line shown in the sketch. Draw the line consisting of all solutions of the system.

If you are puzzled by the generality of this problem, think about an example first:
Compute the products Axin Exercises 13 through 15 using
paper and pencil. In each case, compute the product two ways: in terms of the columns of A and in terms of the rows of A.
13.
Question:A linear system of the form is called homogeneous. Justify the following facts:
a.All homogeneous systems are consistent.
b.A homogeneous system with fewer equations than unknowns has infinitely many solutions.
c.If are solutions of the homogeneous system, then is a solution as well.
d.If is a solution of the homogeneous system andkis an arbitrary constant, then is a solution as well.
Let A be a 4 脳 4 matrix, and letand be two vectors in . We are told that the system has a unique solution. What can you say about the number of solutions of the system ?
Consider a positive definite quadratic form q onwith symmetric matrix. We know that there exists an orthonormal eigenbasis for for A, with associated positive eigenvalues . Now consider the orthogonal Eigen basis , where .
Show that .
