Linear Algebra – Assignment 1


1. Consider the linear system
2𝑥# + 3𝑥& －2𝑥' = 1
𝑥# + 4𝑥& = 5
Which of the following (x1, x2, x3) is a solution?
' 3 & ' 3 ' & 3
(a) − 1 , 1
, 1 (b) 1
, 1
, 1 (c) 1
, 1
, 1 (d) 1
, 1
,1

2. Find the reduced echelon form of the matrix


1 2 −1 -1
4 2 4 −1 0 8
−3 −6 1 0

1 2 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 2 0 0 1 0 0 0
(a) 4 0 0 1 0 8 (b) 4 0 1 1 0 8 (c) 4 0 0 1 1 8 (d) 4 0 1 1 0 8
0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1

3. Let A be a 7 × 8 matrix of rank 3. Which of the following is equal to the dimension of the null space of
A?
(a) 5 (b) 0 (c) 3 (d) 4

4. Solve the following linear system using Gaussian elimination:
𝑥+𝑦+z=0
−𝑥 + 2𝑦 + 3𝑧 = 1
3𝑥 − 3𝑦 + z = −1

6. Let A and B be (2 × 2) matrix, where det(A)=2, det(B)=3. Find
(a) det((2A)-1B2).

(b) det(2A−1+7adj(A))

Hints: If 𝑀 is a 𝑛 × 𝑛 matrix and 𝑘 is a real number, then det(𝑘𝑀) = 𝑘 G det 𝑀. If 𝑀 is an invertible

matrix, then det(𝑀H# ) = (det 𝑀)H# . adj A = AH# |A| .
