AI Thread Summary
To solve six unknown variables using six nonlinear equations in matrix form, known variables are expressed in terms of unknowns. The equations involve relationships where each known variable is defined by a combination of itself and the unknown variables multiplied by coefficients. There is a suggestion to avoid using differential equations or complex matrix methods, proposing instead to simplify the system by eliminating variables step by step. This approach aims to reduce the equations to a manageable form, allowing for the solution of the remaining unknowns. The discussion emphasizes finding a straightforward method to solve the nonlinear equations without the need for advanced techniques.

1. To solve for six unknown variables using six nonlinear equations using matrix form and to prooce it as singular.
Tp1a_d,Tp2a_d,Tp1b_d,Tp2c_d, Tp3b_d,Tp3c_d are known variables
Tp1,Tp2,Tp3, a,b,c are unknown variables.


2. Tp1a_d =Tp1+a*Tp1
Tp1b_d=Tp1+b*Tp1
Tp2a_d=Tp2+a*Tp2
Tp2c_d=Tp2+c*Tp2
Tp3b_d=Tp3+b*Tp3
Tp3c_d=Tp3+c*Tp3


3. can I use differential equations to solve these equations?
But I need to prove that the known variables are dependent on each other by using matrx method.

That notation is just hideous. Instead I am going to use letters from the beginning of the alphabet (a,b,c,d,e,f) as the known quantities and letters from the end of the alphabet (u,v,w,x,y,z) as the unknowns. Then your system of equations becomes:

a=u+ux
c=u+uy
b=v+vx
d=v+vz
e=w+wy
f=w+wz

I don't see why you would need to use differential equations or matrix methods. You can eliminate u among the first pair of equations, eliminate v among the second pair, and eliminate w among the third. That will give you 3 equations relating x, y, and z. Use those equations to eliminate 2 variables and solve for the third, and you should be home free.
 
I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...
