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:
a. Using technology, generate a random matrix A. (The entries may be either single-digit integers or numbers between 0 and 1 , depending on the technology you are using.) Find rref(A). Repeat this experiment a few times.
b. What does the reduced row-echelon form of most matrices look like? Explain.
in exercises 1 through 10, find all solutions of the linear systems using elimination.Then check your solutions
If Aand Sare invertible nxnmatrices, then matrices Aandmust be similar.
