Question:A linear system of the formAx=0 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.Ifx1andx2 are solutions of the homogeneous systemAx=0, thenx1+x2 is a solution as well.

d.Ifx is a solution of the homogeneous systemAx=0 andkis an arbitrary constant, thenkx is a solution as well.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a.x=0 is a solution for a linear system of the form and hence all the homogeneous systems are consistent.

b. Using theorem 1.3.3., homogeneous system with lesser equations than unknowns have infinitely many solutions.

c. Yes, x1+x2is also a solution, if x1andx2are solutions of the homogeneous system Ax=0.

d. Yes, kxis also a solution, if xis a solution of the homogeneous system Ax=0.

Step by step solution

01

(a) Consider the system.

If A is annmmatrix with row vectors 1,...,nand xis a vector in mthen,

Ax=1nx=1xnx

Consider a linear system,

Ax=b

02

Determine the solution for the system.

When b=0,Ax=0

Thus, x=0will also be a solution for homogeneous system, Ax=0.

03

(b) Consider a theorem

Theorem 1.3.3

a. For a linear system with at least one solution, then, the number of unknowns must be equal to the number of equations.

b. A linear system will have no solution or infinitely many solutions for number of equations less than the number of unknowns.

Considering the theorem 1.3.3, it can be stated that, a homogeneous system with fewer equations than unknowns has infinitely many solutions.

04

(c) Consider the system.

Given:

Ax=0 is a homogeneous linear system.

x1andx2are homogeneous solutions.

Consider the system,

Ax=0Ax1+x2=0Ax1+Ax2=0x1+x2=0

05

Step 5:(d) Consider the system.

Given:

Ax=0is a homogeneous linear system.

x is a homogeneous solution.

k is a arbitrary constant.

Consider the system,

Ax=0A(kx)=0k(Ax)=0k(0)x=0kx=0

06

Final answer

a. x=0is a solution.

b. Using theorem 1.3.3., homogeneous system with lesser equations than unknowns have infinitely many solutions.

c. Yes, x1+x2is also a solution, if x1andx2are solutions of the homogeneous system Ax=0.

d. Yes, kx is also a solution, if xis a solution of the homogeneous system Ax=0.

Balancing a chemical reaction. Consider the chemical reaction

aNO2+bH2OcHNO2+dHNO3,

where a, b, c, and d are unknown positive integers. The reaction must be balanced; that is, the number of atoms of each element must be the same before and after the reaction. For example, because the number of oxygen atoms must remain the same,

2a+b=2c+3d.

While there are many possible values for a,b,c and d that balance the reaction, it is customary to use the smallest possible positive integers. Balance this reaction.
