    Homework #1 Solutions Due: August 28

    The leading variables are x and y, so the remaining variables z and w are the free
    variables. Now solve the second equation for y as a function of the free variables
    z and w and use back substitution to get x:
    5
    y= z+w 2

    I Solution. For this system we will use the augmented matrix notation for doing
    the Gauss reduction to echelon form.

    The third row represents the equation 0 = 6, which has no solutions, so the
    solution set of the system is empty. J

    2. For the second system in the first question, give the associated homogeneous system
    and find its solution set.

    I Solution. The associated homogeneous system is


    x + y + 2z = 0
    x 3y =0
    3x + y + 7z = 0
    2y + z = 0

    To solve this system, apply Gauss’s method to reduce the system to echelon form:
    x + y + 2z = 0 x + y + 2z = 0
    ⇢1 +⇢2 4y 2z = 0 (1/2)⇢2 +⇢3 4y 2z = 0
    ! !
    3⇢1 +⇢3 2y + z = 0 (1/2)⇢2 +⇢4 2z = 0
    2y + z = 0 0=0
    Solving by back substitution gives the unique solution (x, y, z) = (0, 0, 0). J
