Can someone check my work? EASY PEASY MATRICES

In summary, the conversation involves a student seeking help with their linear algebra homework. The student provides their attempts and asks for confirmation on their answers and working. The expert summarizes the content by providing a solution and steps for each question, as well as reminding the student to ask one question at a time in order to receive a response.

i just need someone to check my awnsers and working XD thanks
they get harder btw ;)


1:
a) Write out the system of linear equations in variables, x,y,z represented by the augmneted matrix

( 1 2 0 5)
( 3 1 -1 0)
( 0 -2 1 2)

my attempt at 1a:

x + 2y = 5
3x + y -z = 0
-2y + z =2

1b:
write down the augmented matrix corresponding to this system of linear equations:

4a + 2c - d = 8
4a + b +3c +2d = 0
b + c + d = 4
-3a + 8b = 12


(4 0 2 -1 8)
(4 1 3 2 0)
(0 1 1 1 4)
(-3 8 0 0 12)

i think that was it?




2a:
state whether each of the following matrices is in reduced echelon form. If it is not, then give a reason and say what single row operation is needed to bring it to reduced echelon form.


I)

1 0 0 1
0 1 0 -2
0 0 2 -5

not in reduced echelon form
divide p3 by 2

II)

1 1 0 3 0
0 0 1 2 0
0 0 1 2 1

not in reduced echelon form ( don't know how to do this one)
NOT SURE WHAT SINGLE OPERATION will bring to reduced echelon form

III)

1 0 -2 0
0 1 0 0
0 0 0 1

not in reduced echelon form(not sure how to remove the -2)
NOT SURE WHAT SINGLE OPERATION will bring to reduced echelon form

IV)

1 0 2 0 1
0 0 0 1 2
0 1 0 0 -3

not in reduced echelon form
Swap row three with row two

V)

1 0 1 0
0 1 0 1
0 0 1 1

not in reduced echelon form
row one - row three

VI)

0 1 5 0 1
0 0 0 1 2
0 0 0 0 0

not in reduced echelon form (there is a 5 in the way)
NOT SURE WHAT SINGLE OPERATION will bring to reduced echelon form

VII)

1 4 0 1
0 0 0 0
0 0 1 3

not in reduced echelon form(there is a 4 in the way)
NOT SURE WHAT SINGLE OPERATION will bring to reduced echelon form

VIII)

1 0 2 0 3
0 0 1 0 0
0 0 0 1 5

not in reduced echelon form
row one - (2*row2)




For the following systems of equations, write down the Augmented matrix and use Gauss reduction as defined in lectures to find it's reduced row echelon form. hence find the solution of the System




3a:
x + 3y + z = 4
2x + 6y -z = -1
3x +11y +5z =20


matrix/my solution,
(1 3 1 4)
(2 6 -1 -1)p2-2p1
(3 11 5 20)p3-3p1
=
(1 3 1 4)
(0 0 -3 -9)p2 swap p3
(0 2 2 8)
=
(1 3 1 4)
(0 2 2 8)p2/2
(0 0 -3 -9)
=
(1 3 1 4)p1-3p2
(0 1 1 4)
(0 0 -3 -9)
=
(1 0 -2 -8)
(0 1 1 4)
(0 0 -3 -9)p3/-3
=
(1 0 -2 -8)p1+2p3
(0 1 1 4)p2-p3
(0 0 1 3)
=
(1 0 0 -2)
(0 1 0 1)
(0 0 1 3)
that is the reduced echelon form
x = -2
y = 1
z = 3



3b:
3y+2z = 25
3x + y + 5z = 29
x + 2y + 5z = 28

my solution/matrix
(0 3 2 25)
(3 1 5 29)
(1 2 5 28)p3 swap with p1
=
(1 2 5 28)
(3 1 5 29)p2-3p1
(0 3 2 25)
=
(1 2 5 28)
(0 -5 -10 -55)p2/-5
(0 3 2 25)
=
(1 2 5 28)p1-2p2
(0 1 2 11)
(0 3 2 25)p3-3p2
=
(1 0 1 6)
(0 1 2 11)
(0 0 -4 -8)p3/-4
=
(1 0 1 6)p1-p3
(0 1 2 11)p2-2p3
(0 0 1 2)
=
(1 0 0 4)
(0 1 0 7)
(0 0 1 2)
this is the reduced echelon form
x = 4
y = 7
z = 2




4a LAST QUESTION
while on holiday in europe, bills' daily exspenses were:

in england, 20 on accomodation, 40 on food 30 on travel
in france, 60 on accomodation, 30 on food, 20 on travel
in spain, 40 on accomodation, 35 on food, 35 on travel
in total he spent 580 on accomodation, 530 on food and 420 on travel


using e,f and s write down a system of linear equations and solve using gauss reduction to find how many days bill spen tin each country, show all working with clearly labelled reduction steps.

MY ATTEMPT
england = x, france = y, spain = z (just to make it simpler)

20x + 60y + 40z = 580
40x + 30y + 35z = 530
30x + 20y + 35z = 420

matrix
(20 60 40 580)p1/20
(40 30 35 530)
(30 20 35 420)
=
(1 3 2 29)
(40 30 35 530)p2 - 40p1
(30 20 35 420)p3 - 30p1
=
(1 3 2 29)
(0 -90 -45 -630)p2/-90
(0 -70 -25 -450)
=
(1 3 2 29) p1-3p2
(0 1 0.5 7)
(0 -70 -25 -450)p3 + 70p2
=
(1 0 0.5 8)
(0 1 0.5 7)
(0 0 10 40)p3/10
=
(1 0 0.5 8)p1+(.5*p3)
(0 1 0.5 7)p2+(.5*p3)
(0 0 1 4)
=
(1 0 0 10)
(0 1 0 9)
(0 0 1 4)
this is the reduced echelon form
x = 10
y = 9
z = 4

10 days in england, 9 in france, 4 in spain

please check for me and thank you very much XD

You're more likely to get a response if you don't throw a whole laundry list of problems at us.

sorry,
 

1. Can someone check my work for accuracy?

Yes, it is always a good idea to have someone double check your work for accuracy. This can help catch any mistakes or errors that you may have missed.

It is not recommended to have a friend or family member check your work, as they may not have the necessary knowledge or expertise to accurately evaluate it. It is better to ask a teacher, tutor, or someone with expertise in the subject.

4. Is it okay to use online resources to check my work?

Yes, online resources can be helpful in checking your work. However, it is important to make sure that the source is reliable and accurate. It is always best to double check with a teacher or expert if possible.

5. Will someone check my work for free?

It depends on who you ask. Some teachers or tutors may offer to check your work for free, while others may charge a fee. There are also online resources and forums where you can ask for help and have your work checked for free by other users. However, it is important to keep in mind that these free resources may not always be reliable or accurate.
