Question

a) How many leading ones are in the RREF of a system of ten equations
in ten variables having a solution set that is a plane in R10? Explain.

b) How many leading ones are in the RREF of a system of ve equations
in four variables having a solution set that is a point in R4? Explain.

Expert Solution
Step 1

(a)  Answer : 8 

  Explanation :  Number of variables - number of leading ones = number of parameters

                          10 - 8  =  2

So every vector in R10 is a linear combination of two independent vectors. Thus the solution set is a plane in R10.

Note  :   If Leading ones are 9 then we got number of parameters = 1, the solution set is a line.
