    MAST10007 Linear Algebra Semester 1, 2012

    Assignment 1

    Due: 10:00 am Monday, March 12th.

    Late assignments will not be accepted.

    You should show all working for all your answers.

    Please leave your assignment in your tutor’s box located near the north entrance to the Richard
    Berry building. Make sure that you have written your name, your student number, your tutor’s
    name, and your tutorial time on the front page.

    Please complete the plagiarism declaration on the back of this sheet, and submit it with your assignment.

    1. (a) Write down the augmented matrix corresponding to the linear system:

    x1 + 2x2 + x3 = 3
    3x1 + 5x2 + 4x3 = 2
    x1 + 3x2 − 2x3 = 20.

    (b) Use Gaussian elimination to reduce the matrix to row-echelon form.


    (c) Solve the linear system.

    2. (a) Write down the augmented matrix corresponding to the linear system:

    x1 + 2x2 − x4 = 3
    −2x1 + 8x3 + x4 = 2
    4x2 + 8x3 − x4 = 8.

    (b) State, giving reasons but without solving, why this system cannot have a unique solution.
    (c) Using Gauss-Jordan elimination, reduce the augmented matrix to reduced row-echelon form.
    (d) Solve the linear system.

    3. A linear system has augmented matrix which is row-equivalent to the following matrix:
     
    1 3k 1 −7
     0 2 0 1 
    2
    0 0 3k − k k − 3

    Give the values of k for which the system is:

    (i) consistent;
    (ii) inconsistent.
