Construct 3 augmented matrices for linear systems whose solution set is $x_1=3, \quad x_2=-2, \quad x_3=-1$
ok the only thing I could think of is just rearrange the rows of an RREF matrix. albeit losing the triangle format
hopefully no typos
$\left[\begin{array}{rrr|rr}
1& 0& 0& 3\\ 0& 1& 0& -2\\ 0& 0& 1& -1\\
\end{array}\right]
\quad
\left[\begin{array}{rrr|rr}
0& 1& 0& -2\\ 1& 0& 0& 3\\ 0& 0& 1& -1\\
\end{array}\right]
\quad
\left[\begin{array}{rrr|rr}
0& 1& 0& -2\\0& 0& 1& -1\\ 1& 0& 0& 3\\
\end{array}\right]

If the problem only asks for "3 augmented matrices for linear systems whose solution set is $x_1=3$, $x_2=−2$, $x_3=−1$" then that is perfectly good. Your teacher might complain that you are not being creative enough but that is the fault of the question! You can get other matrices by "row operations" on those matrices, basically the reverse of using row operations to solve matrix equations.

For example, adding 3 times the second row of the first of your three matrices to the first row gives
$\left[\begin{array}{rrr|rr}
1& 3& 0& -3\\ 0& 1& 0& -2\\ 0& 0& 1& -1\\
\end{array}\right]

ok that helps a lot i will try to get back to this tmro
btw you have really helped me a lot in this forum, and deeply appreciate it
I'm retired so pretty much on my own except for the zoom classes
 
I asked online questions about Proposition 2.1.1: The answer I got is the following: I have some questions about the answer I got. When the person answering says: ##1.## Is the map ##\mathfrak{q}\mapsto \mathfrak{q} A _\mathfrak{p}## from ##A\setminus \mathfrak{p}\to A_\mathfrak{p}##? But I don't understand what the author meant for the rest of the sentence in mathematical notation: ##2.## In the next statement where the author says: How is ##A\to...
The following are taken from the two sources, 1) from this online page and the book An Introduction to Module Theory by: Ibrahim Assem, Flavio U. Coelho. In the Abelian Categories chapter in the module theory text on page 157, right after presenting IV.2.21 Definition, the authors states "Image and coimage may or may not exist, but if they do, then they are unique up to isomorphism (because so are kernels and cokernels). Also in the reference url page above, the authors present two...
When decomposing a representation ##\rho## of a finite group ##G## into irreducible representations, we can find the number of times the representation contains a particular irrep ##\rho_0## through the character inner product $$ \langle \chi, \chi_0\rangle = \frac{1}{|G|} \sum_{g\in G} \chi(g) \chi_0(g)^*$$ where ##\chi## and ##\chi_0## are the characters of ##\rho## and ##\rho_0##, respectively. Since all group elements in the same conjugacy class have the same characters, this may be...
