#### Linear Algebra: Solutions to Homogeneous and Nonhomogeneous Systems
Suppose \( A\mathbf{x} = \mathbf{b} \), where \( \mathbf{b} \) is not the zero vector, is a consistent linear system. Suppose that \( \mathbf{u} \) is a solution to the nonhomogeneous system and \( \mathbf{v} \) is a solution to the associated homogeneous system \( A\mathbf{x} = \mathbf{0} \). Prove that \( \mathbf{u} + \mathbf{v} \) is a solution to \( A\mathbf{x} = \mathbf{b} \) and that every solution \( \mathbf{x} \) to the nonhomogeneous system \( A\mathbf{x} = \mathbf{b} \) can be written as \( \mathbf{x}_p + \mathbf{x}_h \), where \( \mathbf{x}_p \) is a particular solution to the nonhomogeneous system and \( \mathbf{x}_h \) is a solution to the associated homogeneous system.
---
In this problem, we are working with both nonhomogeneous and homogeneous linear systems. The key goals are to demonstrate the properties of these systems and solutions:
1. **Combined Solution**:
- If \( \mathbf{u} \) is a solution to the nonhomogeneous system \( A\mathbf{u} = \mathbf{b} \), and \( \mathbf{v} \) is a solution to the homogeneous system \( A\mathbf{v} = \mathbf{0} \), we want to prove that their sum \( \mathbf{u} + \mathbf{v} \) is also a solution to the nonhomogeneous system \( A\mathbf{x} = \mathbf{b} \).
2. **General Solution Form**:
- Any solution \( \mathbf{x} \) to the nonhomogeneous system can be expressed as the sum of a particular solution \( \mathbf{x}_p \) and a solution \( \mathbf{x}_h \) to the homogeneous system.
To effectively navigate through the problem, we will delve into the following proofs:
- **Proof of Combined Solution**:
- Starting with \( A\mathbf{u} = \mathbf{b} \) and \( A\mathbf{v} = \mathbf{0} \), show that \(](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fe6e77107-ef1d-4e39-badf-4decafa47f1b%2F4cc94d63-600b-4ab6-855a-080d0ba51acd%2Fjxxqobg_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
